Brie, acclaimed as one of the world's greatest cheeses, gives this delectable dish a robust flavor. If you prefer, assemble this strata the night before so it's ready for baking the next morning.

5/16 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/8 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Sprinkle cheese evenly over bread in baking dish. Arrange zucchini and tomatoes on top. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup bread pieces.
