• Add onion, and sauté 4 minutes.
• Reduce heat; cook 10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
• Add bell pepper; cook for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat; stir in bacon.
• Arrange 3 cups bread in an 11x7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; top with half of onion mixture.
• Repeat layer with remaining bread and onion mixture.
• Combine milk and next 5 ingredients (milk through eggs) in a medium bowl; stir well with a whisk.
• Pour egg mixture over bread mixture, and top with the cheese.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 375°F­.
• Let the casserole stand 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Uncover and bake at 375°F­ for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
• Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Put the bacon in a large skillet then cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings. Add the onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until very soft and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 6 minutes more. Set aside.
• Whisk the half-and-half, Parmesan, eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl.
• Layer half of the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of the Swiss, followed by the bacon-onion mixture. Cover with the remaining bread cubes and pour the half-and-half mixture evenly over top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. (This can also be assembled the day of; just let soak at room temperature 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking.)
• On the day of baking, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Let the strata sit at room temperature while the oven preheats. Remove the plastic and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Swiss. Bake until slightly puffed and just no longer jiggly in the center, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put the bread on a baking sheet and toast until lightly golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter and canola oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onions and toss to coat, then add the sugar and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, combine the toasted bread, caramelized onions and spinach. In another large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, heavy cream, 1 1/2 cups cheese, the mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the thyme and nutmeg. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add the bread mixture to the baking dish, then pour the egg mixture over the bread and press down to make sure it is totally submerged.
• Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake the strata, uncovered, until it is golden brown on top, puffed slightly and doesn't shimmy with uncooked custard when you shake the pan, 50 minutes to 1 hour; sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, prepare the tomatoes: Heat the canola oil in a large saute pan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the cherry tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chives and remove from the heat. Serve the strata with the sauteed tomatoes.

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter for the onions over medium-high heat in a large skillet or wok. Add onions and cook until carmelized, about 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile heat oil for the mushrooms over medium-high heat in a seperate skillet. Cook until soft, about 7-10 minutes. Once cooked combine the onions and the mushrooms. Slice enough bread to cover the bottom of a 13X9 baking dish about an inch thick. Cube the rest of the bread into about 1/2" cubes. On top of the sliced bread, layer half of the mushroom/onion mixture, artichokes, goat cheese, and provolone. Repeat layers. Add cooked bacon to the top of the final cheese layer. Top with the cubed bread. Press down into pan. Pour the egg mixture over the top. Drizzle with 2 tbsp melted butter. Cover and refridgerate overnight. Preheat oven to 350. Uncover and let strata set at room temperate for 30 minutes before cooking. Cook for 1 hour. Turn broiler on high until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Heat oil in small skillet on medium heat. Add sweet onions; cook 12 to 15 min. or until golden brown and tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Mix with remaining ingredients except green onions.
• Spoon into shallow ovenproof dish sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 20 to 25 min. or until hot and bubbly. Top with green onions.

Steps:

• Set oven rack in lowest position; preheat oven to 500°F (or the highest setting).
• Sprinkle a pizza pan or baking sheet generously with cornmeal; set aside.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
• Add onions & red pepper strips and cook, stirring, until softened and golden, about 10 minutes.
• Add artichoke hearts, rosemary, and a sprinkling of crushed red pepper flakes, (if you choose.)
• Continue to cook, stirring, until the artichokes are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 14-inch circle or a 15-by-10-inch rectangle.
• Transfer the dough to the prepared pan.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the mushrooms until their liquid has mostly evaporated and the mushrooms are beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Set the mushrooms aside.
• Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish, and arrange 8 muffin halves, cut sides up, in the bottom of the dish. Stuff pieces of remaining muffins into the spaces between the halves. Spread 1 cup of Colby-Monterey Jack cheese over the muffins in a layer, and distribute the asparagus pieces, mushrooms, red pepper, and onion over the cheese.
• Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, dry mustard, and black pepper in a bowl, and pour the egg mixture over the muffins and vegetables. Cover the dish, and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let stand for 30 minutes. Spread 1 cup of Colby-Monterey Jack cheese in a layer over the casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted near the edge comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into squares.

Steps:

• Oil bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish with about a tablespoon of bacon fat.
• Place bread cubes in a large mixing bowl.
• Crack eggs into a separate mixing bowl. Season with salt, pepper, cayenne, and nutmeg. Add cream and whisk mixture thoroughly.
• Pour egg/cream mixture over the bread cubes and mix to distribute ingredients evenly. Allow bread mixture to sit about 15 minutes to absorb the liquid.
• Transfer half of the bread mixture to the baking pan; spread evenly over the bottom and press mixture down a bit. Top with half of the grated Cheddar cheese. Add cooked bacon pieces in an even layer over the cheese. Place the cooked spinach over the bacon; top with half of the remaining cheese. Finish with the rest of the soaked bread cubes, spread evenly and pressed down slightly. Sprinkle with the rest of the grated cheese. Cover and let strata sit at room temperature for 1 hour before baking.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake strata in preheated oven until set, about 45 minutes. Optionally, you can broil the strata for a minute or two to brown the top.
