Washing Up
I made this as written, for New Year's Eve, and though everyone loved it (me, too!) and ate it all, I just KNOW it can be better.
I would love some critique and help on the what I was disappointed in:
- the top crescent rolls didn't puff up very high, as they would if I'd made them as rolls (maybe too much egg/cheese mixture on the dough?)
- the red peppers were fantastic, but made the filling kinda juicy (chop up the peppers and pat them dry before adding them?)
- I didn't see any point in the eggs; they were invisible in the finished squares
I will include a picture of the strata, before I cut it. The squares were like mini, hot Italian subs. It really did taste great, but what do you think would make it better?
