This recipe reminded me of other strata recipes, but it used less liquid than most, I thought to very good effect. My low-fat adjustments were to use less butter and low-fat milk. I also added more broccoli, about 3 1/2 cups (12 ounces) of a thawed frozen broccoli package that I had on hand. Less milk meant the bread was soft in some places and crunchy in others. I cooked for 35 minutes then took off the aluminum foil and cooked another 5 (I prefer my eggs cooked well). Next time I would give it 10 minutes with the foil off, but the topping had a great texture as is! A perfect complete meal for vegetarians like us, thanks!
