Cooking Guide

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Whisk the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Prepare the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add your chosen chopped vegetables and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. 

a.   If using frozen artichokes add those for 1-2 minutes before adding other add-ins.

b. Add spinach last

  1. Assemble the  strata: In the bowl, combine eggs, the cubed bread, cheeses, and vegetables. Combine and transfer into a prepared baking dish.
  2. Bake: Bake the strata for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Serve: Let the strata cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional) and enjoy warm.
