Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). ๐ก๏ธ
- On a large cookie sheet, arrange the slices of bread in a single layer. ๐ฅ
- Bake the bread slices in the preheated oven for a few minutes until they are lightly browned. This should take about 5-7 minutes. ๐
- Once the bread is nicely toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Then, cut the bread into 1-inch cubes. ๐ช
- While the bread is toasting, prepare the sautรฉed vegetables. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine over medium heat. ๐ณ
- Add the chopped green pepper, onion, minced garlic, sugar, salt, oregano, and pepper to the skillet. Sautรฉ the mixture until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes. ๐ฅฆ
- In a greased baking dish, combine the toasted bread cubes with the sautรฉed vegetable mixture, spreading them out evenly. ๐ณ
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined. Then, pour the beaten eggs over the bread and vegetable mixture, ensuring that everything is evenly coated. ๐ฅ
- Next, arrange rows of sliced tomatoes and mozzarella cheese over the top of the bread mixture, alternating between the two until the entire surface is covered. ๐ ๐ง
- If desired, sprinkle crisp bacon over the top for an extra burst of flavor and crunch. ๐ฅ
- Place the assembled strata in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dish is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. ๐
