This make-ahead dish is so easy to prepare. It's wonderful for brunch, lunch or supper, or as a potluck meal. If you prefer it, substitute turkey pastrami for the corned beef. —Mary Louise Lever, Rome, Georgia

Ingredients

10 slices rye bread, cubed (about 6 cups)
1-1/4 pounds thinly sliced deli corned beef, chopped
2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese or Swiss cheese
1 cup sauerkraut, rinsed, drained and patted dry
1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
6 large eggs
2 cups 2% milk
2/3 cup Thousand Island salad dressing
Dash garlic powder
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Place bread cubes in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Top with corned beef, Gruyere, sauerkraut and pickles. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, dressing and garlic powder. Pour over bread. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°. Remove strata from refrigerator while oven heats. Bake, uncovered, 45 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 5-10 minutes longer. Let stand 10-15 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with parsley.

Test Kitchen tips

Patting the sauerkraut dry will help prevent excess moisture after the casserole bakes.

Leftover cubed corned beef would also work in place of deli-style.
