I first learned about strata from my step-mom. Kind of like bread pudding, but with more eggs, and you put it all together, refrigerate overnight and bake in the morning for an easy brunch dish - kind of like a savory french toast. For me the name evoked an old world Italian dish, but turns out it's an American creation - first mentioned in a 1902 cookbook. This recipe brings together the homey fall flavors of mushrooms, leeks, rosemary, sage and smoked mozzarella, but you could use it as a base for an infinite number of veg, herb and/or cheese combinations. An easy dish to feed the family crowd coming for Thanksgiving.
