Strata Assembly

Method

Mushroom Conserva

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    Clean and slice the mushrooms into thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add sliced mushrooms, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 10-12 minutes until mushrooms are tender and golden. Remove from heat and let cool.

Roasted Tomatoes

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.

  2. 4

    Roast the Tomatoes

    In a bowl, mix cherry tomatoes with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until they are blistered and caramelized.

House-Made Herb Ricotta

  1. 5

    Mix the Ricotta

    In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, chopped basil, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and salt. Stir until well combined and set aside.

Strata Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Strata Base

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined. Add cubed bread and mix gently to soak the bread.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a greased baking dish, layer half of the soaked bread mixture, followed by all of the mushroom conserva, half of the roasted tomatoes, and half of the herb ricotta. Repeat with the remaining bread, tomatoes, and ricotta.

  3. 8

    Bake the Strata

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the strata for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Let the strata cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with the remaining roasted tomatoes on top.
