1 1/2 cups onions, finely chopped
1 cup scallion, finely chopped
3/4 lb mushroom, sliced thin
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 red bell peppers, cut into thin strips (about 2 cups)
2 green bell peppers, cut into thin strips (about 2 cups)
9 cups Italian bread, cut into 1-inch cubes, crusts trimmed (about 1 1/2 loaves)

1 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
12 large eggs
3 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons dijon-style mustard

1
Assembly. In a large skillet saute the onion, scallion, and mushrooms in 2 Tbsp oil over moderately low heat, until the onion is softened and all liquid the mushrooms give off is evaporated.
2
In another large skillet saute the bell peppers in remaining oil and salt and pepper to taste, until peppers are tender.
3
Combine vegetables and season.
4
Arrange half the bread cubes in a buttered large shallow (4 1/2-quart) baking dish, spread half the vegetable mixture over them, and sprinkle half the Cheddar and half the Parmesan over the vegetables.
5
Arrange the remaining bread cubes over the cheeses, top them with the remaining vegetables, and sprinkle the remaining cheeses over the top.
6
In a bowl whisk together the eggs, the milk, the mustard, the Tabasco, and salt and pepper to taste, and pour the egg mixture evenly over the strata.
7
Cover and chill the strata, overnight. Let the strata stand at room temperature for 15-30 minutes and bake it in the middle of a preheated 350u00b0F. oven for at least 1 hour, or until it is puffed and golden and cooked through.
