The Plan
The Day Before
• Assemble the strata
in a baking dish. The
eggs on top are added
as the strata bakes
(see recipe, page 194).
• For the salad, slice
the citrus fruits, wash
the lettuce, toast
the coconut, and
prepare the dressing.
Store ingredients
in the refrigerator
in separate covered
containers.
• Prepare the steamed
pudding. Cool, wrap
in plastic or foil,
and store in the
refrigerator.
An Hour Before
• Bake the strata and
assemble the salad.
• Bring the steamed
pudding to room
temperature or reheat
it if you prefer. Glaze
and sprinkle with the
candied fruits.
Something
to Sip
Pomegranate
Mimosas
In a large pitcher, mix
3 cups pomegranate or
cranberry juice with
a bottle of sparkling
wine or sparkling
white grape juice. Add
a few lime slices to the
pitcher or each glass
just before serving.
