Cheese and Leek Strata Recipe

Name: Cheese and Leek Strata
Cook time: 160 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 4 eggs; 1 cup milk; 0.25 cup porter; 1 garlic clove; 0.125 teaspoon salt; 0.125 teaspoon pepper; 0.5 loaf sourdough bread; 1 leek; 0.5 bell pepper; 0.75 cup cheddar cheese; 0.75 cup swiss cheese; 6 servings salt& pepper to season

This strata layers sourdough bread with leeks, bell pepper, and two kinds of cheese, all bound together by an eggy custard. A splash of porter in the custard adds a subtle richness. Assemble it ahead of time — it needs at least 2 hours in the fridge, or even better, overnight — then bake it until golden and set. It's a satisfying dish, good for brunch or a lighter dinner.
