Chef's Notes
Butter is not an ingredient here; it is a lifestyle. Treat your Costco croissants with the reverence of ancient relics before repurposing them into this magnificent strata.
Pro Tip
When soaking your strata overnight, let the baking dish sit on the counter for 15 minutes to take off the refrigerator chill before putting it into the hot oven to ensure even cooking.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to cover the baking dish with foil during the initial bake will instantly incinerate the top cheese layer while leaving the raw eggs inside looking like a tragic yellow puddle.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the croissant go to therapy? Because it felt entirely too flaky and pressured by the bulk-buying lifestyle.
The Culinary Science
Stale bread has lost its moisture, creating microscopic empty pockets that act like a sponge, eagerly drinking up the egg and dairy proteins to create a lush, custard-like texture.
