{for a small crowd} I grew up thinking strata was my mom's signature dish, until I realized every mother has her own version. You should know how to make it too, but {just between us}, yours can be much more elegant than your mother's, especially when you make it in a small dish to serve two and pair it with a large salad.

Cooks' Note

P.S. Double this recipe easily for a large crowd, and watch it disappear at every New Year's Brunch or potluck. Bake for 1 hour in a 9-by-13-in/23-by-33 cm pan.
