Ingredients

8 slices bacon cooked + crisped
1 tablespoon butter
3 cups corn fresh, frozen or canned
1 ½ cups scallions thinly sliced, both white & green parts
9 cups french bread cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
9 large eggs
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 ¾ cup milk
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions

In a large skillet add 8 slices of bacon and cook over medium-high heat, until crisp. After cooling, crumble bacon.
Generously butter a 9×13-inch baking dish. Toss crisped and crumbled bacon, 3 cups corn and 1 ½ cups sliced scallions together in a medium bowl. Combine 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese with 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese in another bowl. In a large bowl, whisk together 9 large eggs and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, then whisk in 2 ¾ cups milk, 2 teaspoons kosher salt and ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
Spread one-third of bread cubes (about 3 cups) in prepared baking dish — it will not fully cover bottom of dish; this is fine. Add one-third of bacon & corn mixture, then ⅓ of the cheese mixture. Repeat layering twice with remaining bread, corn and cheese. Pour egg mixture evenly over strata. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 1 day.
When ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake strata, uncovered, until puffed, golden brown and cooked through, about 45 to 55 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
