This is where French onion dip meets savory bread pudding; it’s the perfect make-ahead brunch headliner. Pull everything together the night before you want to serve the strata and bake it the following morning. Look for an organic, all-natural French onion dip blend in the spice aisle of your grocery store or use my French Onion Salt.
