Whisk eggs, milk and pepper in large bowl until blended. Reserve 1/2 cup cheese. Add remaining cheese to egg mixture with all remaining ingredients; mix well.
Cut 3 (30-inch-long) sheets of foil. Fold 1 sheet lengthwise in half twice; repeat with second sheet. Fold remaining sheet to fit inside back edge of slow cooker; place in slow cooker. Crisscross foil strips; use to line bottom and sides of slow cooker. Spray inside of slow cooker with cooking spray. Add egg mixture. If necessary, press toast cubes into egg mixture with back of spoon to completely moisten toast cubes.

Serving Suggestion

Start off your day with this quick-and-delicious entrée. Serve with a seasonal fruit salad to round out the meal.

From our partners at Eggland's Best®

To make eggs fluffy and full, whisk as much air as possible into the egg mixture and be sure to use the freshest eggs. We love the fresh-from-the-farm quality of Eggland’s Best® eggs, which are typically delivered directly to supermarkets within three days of laying. And now, Eggland’s Best eggs are fresher and stay fresher longer than ordinary eggs.

Note

For best results, do not prepare this recipe using the HIGH heat setting on your slow cooker.

Special Extra

For easy cleanup, line slow cooker with plastic liner bag before filling with ingredients and cooking as directed.

Variation

Prepare using OSCAR MAYER Turkey Bacon.

Food Facts

Since most slow cookers tend to have a hot spot on the back side of the slow cooker, we cover the hot spot with foil to help prevent this delicate strata from burning.

Rated 4 out of 5 by mheine from This was pretty good and pretty easy. This was pretty good and pretty easy. I would make a few changes next time I make it. All the good stuff (bacon and cheese) collects on top so I would put half the bread in first, pour half the egg mixture and then layer more bread and egg. I did add some cut up breakfast sausages as well. I think you could easily add veggies (peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach) to dress it up a bit. My doesn't like that stuff so I left it close to the original recipe. I would also add a little more spice to it, maybe some cajun seasoning.

Rated 2 out of 5 by bevh566 from I halved this and made it is a smaller slow cooker. I halved this and made it is a smaller slow cooker. It filled the whole cooker. Too much bread for me. Leaked through the foil, could not get the foil to peal off nor use it to lift the strata out of the pan. Taste was good, but not worth the effort.
