NEW - Make Ahead Brunch!


Hi there, Reader

My vegan French toast casserole is a hugely popular recipe, and over the years, I've had so many people ask me for a savoury version.

Well, I've finally done it. My new Vegan Strata is here just in time for Christmas and New Year's brunch!

I love this because you can assemble it the night before, then bake it in the morning. So convenient and absolutely delicious!

Note that stale bread is best for this strata, but if you only have fresh, check out the FAQs because I've given a couple of options for drying it out quickly.

This recipe tastes like cinnamon rolls, but it's SO easy & can be made ahead.
