Eggs for Dinner: Strata
Yes, Patti, you can have eggs for dinner–and I do pretty regularly. Thank you for prompting me to create a new blog category: Eggs for Dinner.
Egg Strata
This fits a 9×13 pan, but can be very easily halved. It also reheats and freezes very well.
Spray 9×13 casserole pan. Cover the bottom with
- 10 slices of sandwich bread (or the equal to)
- 1 pound of grated cheese
Combine in a blender
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 cups milk
- 2 tsp dry mustard powder
Pour mixture over bread and cheese.
Cover & refrigerate for 8 hours.
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
Feel free to add sauteed or roasted veggies, and choose your cheese to create a combination. Do not use uncooked veg, as they give off too much water. You can switch up your bread, as well, I use whatever is a few days old.
Examples:
- Sauteed mushrooms, red onion and thyme, with a splash of white wine and Gruyere cheese.
- Sauteed spinach and garlic with drained roasted tomatoes and a blend of feta and mild cheddar.
- Roasted red pepper, corn and onions with cheddar cheese.
I suppose you could also add meat, if you would eat that sort of thing.
