Forgot to grease ceramic pan for strata
I made this strata recipe, but in my haste, forgot to grease the pan. The ingredients are nicely layered at the moment, but Im worried about sticking. Its currently sitting for 8hrs to soak up the egg, but Im trying to decide if I should:
- Just bake it
- Dump the contents into a bowl, grease the pan, redump and bake a distinctly less beautiful non-strata strata.

If you're careful not to overcook it, it'll likely be fine. Eggy bready things will indeed eventually stick pretty badly, but if you pull it out when the eggs are just barely set all the way through, it won't have time to truly stick or burn on the bottom yet. I might bake it pretty high in the oven so that the top will be more likely to be well-browned in time.

Considering that bread, being high-starch, is going to stick like crazy particularly when combined with egg, I guess it's your call. I would opt for rebuilding the strata, one way or another that strata is going to end up looking ugly, but it's going to also taste burned if you don't grease that pan.
