Strata

Ingredients

The amount of vegetables is not important. That's the great thing about it. You can use spinach, meat, whatever veggies or cheese you have on hand.

Here's what went into ours:

(approximate amounts)

1 loaf homemade white bread, cubed
1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup Swiss cheese
5 or 6 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 red pepper
1 large onion
12 shoots of asparagus
4 oz mushrooms

Directions

(As adapted from this recipe)

Fill a bowl with the cubed bread

Chop all the vegetables.

Sauté the vegetables for a few minutes until the onions started to get translucent, then toss them in with the bread crumbs.

In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and spices, and pour over bread.

Put half the the mixture in an 8x8" baking dish and press it down. Add 1/2 the grated cheese. Pour the rest of the bread mixture in and press it down a bit and top with the rest of the cheese. Place into 350 degrees F oven for about an hour.
