Mexican Chorizo Strata

I was looking for a vehicle for my homemade chorizo and an abundance of quality wheat bread. The recipe calls for white or egg bread but the wheat gave it a nice texture and after an overnight soak it doesn't make much of a difference. I used only half the butter and it came out great. I will say that I thought the recipe was a little vague - she doesn't specify the size of "casserole" or if should be cooked covered or uncovered. I ended up using a Staub oval 2 quart roaster (using a bit less bread) and cooking uncovered. Delicious brunch dish.
