Expert Tips

This strata was developed using standard bagels, which tend to be rather large. When preparing the recipe with small bagels, add an extra half-bagel.
Prepare this strata recipe the next time you have overnight guests--the recipe goes together quickly the night before. The next morning, pop the strata in the oven. While it bakes, there's plenty of time to cut up fruit and set the table.
This recipe is a great way to use up day-old bagels!
