Cooking Tips

  • You can customize this strata by adding cooked bacon, sautéed vegetables, or diced ham.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, you can substitute Swiss cheese with cheddar or Gruyere.
  • Make sure to use stale or slightly dried rye bread for the best texture and flavor absorption.
  • Allowing the strata to rest in the refrigerator before baking helps the bread soak up the egg mixture and results in a more flavorful dish.

Storage and Serving

  • Serve the Swiss Rye Strata warm as a main dish for breakfast or brunch.
  • You can also cut it into smaller squares and serve as an appetizer or side dish.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
