If you are looking for an easy addition to your Easter brunch, try this. Stratas rarely seem to show up on brunch menus, but in my opinion, are just about the best thing you can do with baked eggs—and, they are so easy to make. Unlike quiches and frittatas, the base of the strata are bread cubes that are left to soak in a custardy egg mixture. The bread makes the strata light and fluffy and a lot like a savory version of bread pudding that you get to eat for breakfast.
This is a basic recipe so feel free to add broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms, and peppers. Really, whatever you like. You can use any kind of bread but I think the onion rolls are the best.
If all this bread talk is making you have carb anxiety, don’t! It’s Easter, so celebrate and enjoy!
Have a blessed and Happy Easter everyone!!
