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.
