Many of you have been asking me for a frittata recipe. Instead, I m going to show you something even better â how to go off-script with strata.
Strata is the love child of frittata and bread pudding. Picture: a tender, fluffy egg custard soaking into toasty bread and wrapping around the mix-ins of your choice. I m actually not a fan of frittatas or bread puddings (I know I m alone in this, but hear me out!). When making a frittata, it s hard to not overcook your eggs; on the stovetop, the edges often become dried-out by the time the dense center has set. On the other hand, bread pudding can quickly become heavy and one-note from the cream and egg yolk custard. But somehow, when you smash those two ideas together, you get something rich but not too heavy and, of course, endlessly riffable.
