  • 1 cup mascarpone

  • Lay down half of challah with fruit into a greased baking dish. Add half of the preserves and mascarpone, using a spoon to dollop them randomly. Pour over half of the egg mixture. Add remaining challah/berries, then the rest of the egg mixture, then the mascarpone/preserves, and finally sprinkle with sliced almonds.
  • Place in refrigerator and chill for 1 hour. When ready, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake strata for 1hr and 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or cold.
