Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices white or whole-grain bread
- 2 cans (5 ounces each) canned tuna, drained
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (for greasing the dish) butter or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Cut the bread slices into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread half of the bread cubes evenly in the greased baking dish.
Sprinkle one can of drained tuna evenly over the bread layer, followed by half of the chopped onion and 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining bread cubes, tuna, onion, and shredded cheese.
Slowly pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish, ensuring all the bread gets soaked.
Let the strata sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the strata is set in the center.
Allow the strata to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
