Vegetarian Breakfast Strata

OVERNIGHT

Why You'll Love It!

The perfect breakfast casserole to serve a crowd! This delicious Vegetarian Breakfast Strata is great for preparing overnight. With soft luscious egg-soaked bread bites, veggies and cheese. Easy to adapt and great for entertaining!

What You Need

For this breakfast bake you need baguette, bell pepper, kale, onion, mushrooms, garlic, olive oil, large eggs, parmesan cheeses, sharp white cheddar cheese, milk salt and pepper.

First saute the vegetables. We’re using red bell pepper, mushrooms and kale here. I love the heartiness of kale, but feel free to sub in spinach.

Step One

While the kale is wilting and the vegetables finish cooking, cube up the bread, or rip into pieces and place in a greased baking dish.

Step Two

Whisk together the eggs, milk and salt and pepper.

Step Three

Add vegetables to the top of the bread, sprinkle on cheese, add egg-milk mixture and top with more cheese. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Step Four

Remove casserole from fridge and preheat oven to 375ºF. Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes, until edges are golden.

MIX IN OPTIONS

• Sun-dried tomato,  sausage & mozzarella • Bacon & cheddar cheese • Southwest with chorizo, cotija and serve with avocado

STORAGE

This breakfast casserole will keep in the fridge, as long as you don’t mind reheated eggs. It’s best used within 3-4 days.

REHEATING

To reheat, I recommend the toaster oven if you have one, or the microwave works too. About 30-45 seconds per piece.

Luscious egg-soaked baguette bites and cheese – you can’t pass this up!
