“This make-ahead dish is so easy to prepare. It’s wonderful for brunch, lunch or supper, or as a potluck meal. If you prefer it, substitute turkey pastrami for the corned beef.” —Mary Louise Lever, Rome, Georgia

Instructions
- Place bread cubes in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Top with corned beef, Gruyere, sauerkraut and pickles. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, dressing and garlic powder. Pour over bread. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Remove strata from refrigerator while oven heats. Bake, uncovered, 45 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 5-10 minutes longer. Let stand 10-15 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with parsley.
Recipe Notes
Test Kitchen Tips
- Patting the sauerkraut dry will help prevent excess moisture after the casserole bakes.
- Leftover cubed corned beef would also work in place of deli-style.
