Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Spray a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 3

Lay slices of bread in the bottom of the prepared pan in a single layer, trimming and filling in gaps as necessary. Spread 1 cup Cheddar cheese, onion, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, and bacon on top, in that order.

Step 4

Whisk eggs, sour cream, mustard, seasoning blend, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until well combined. Pour mixture over bread, making sure to soak the top layer.

Step 5

Cover baking pan and refrigerate strata at least 8 hours.

Step 6

Uncover strata and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
