Healthy Breakfast Strata
A breakfast strata is sort of a savory breakfast french toast. It’s perfect for entertaining because you have to prepare everything the night before and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator. Next morning, pop it in the oven and breakfast is done.
Breakfast Strata Variations
- You can easily swap out the mushrooms for asparagus or bell peppers.
- Use diced ham or cooked bacon instead of sausage.
- Omit the meat to make it vegetarian.
- Make it with any cheese you like. Gruyere would be a delicious option.
Enjoy, whatever flavor combination you come up with!!
