Strata with fresh berries and ricotta is a delicate and aromatic dish of European cuisine that combines the fluffiness of a casserole with the vibrant flavors of fresh berries. This dessert, inspired by traditional French and Italian breakfasts, blends the sweetness of honey and sugar with the light tartness of orange juice and berries, creating a rich and balanced flavor. Ricotta adds a creamy texture, while white bread soaked in a milk mixture transforms ordinary ingredients into a delightfully tender treat. Strata is perfect for a cozy family breakfast or a light dessert with tea. It can be served warm, complemented by fresh fruits or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an even more refined enjoyment.
