What You Need

Eggland's Best® eggs

cups milk

1/2

tsp. black pepper

pkg. (8 oz.) KRAFT Shredded Triple Cheddar Cheese with a TOUCH OF PHILADELPHIA, divided

Make It

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.

COOK on LOW 4 hours, sprinkling with reserved cheese for the last 15 min. Cool slightly. Use foil handles to transfer strata from slow cooker to platter; discard foil.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

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.

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.
