Sweet Bread Strata

Description

A simple strata made with Hawaiian sweet bread. You can easily alter the fillings: substitute sausage for the bacon, use different cheeses, add some mushrooms, etc. Let your imagination be your guide!

Ingredients

• 6 Hawaiian bread rolls (such as King's®)
• ½ cup shredded Swiss cheese, divided
• ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
• 3 slices cooked bacon, diced, divided
• 4 green onions, diced, divided
• 3 eggs
• ⅔ cup half-and-half

• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Cut each roll into 8 cubes.
3. Spread onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven until toasted, about 10 minutes.
4. Layer toasted bread cubes in a 1 1/2-quart baking pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Swiss cheese, 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese, 1/2 the bacon, and 2 green onions on top of the bread. Shake to settle the toppings into the bread.
5. Beat eggs together with half-and-half, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour over the bread cubes, pressing cubes down into the mixture.
6. Sprinkle the remaining Swiss cheese, Cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, and Parmesan cheese on top.
