Veggie Strata


I LOVE strata! So yummy, and so many ways you can make it! With four kiddos in the house the food preferences can vary widely. I'm quite fond of recipes that allow me to switch  it up each time I make it.
So here's my take on a veggie strata. I don't use exact measurements when cooking this so please bear with me. The best part is you can add whatever veggies YOU like :)

VEGGIE STRATA

• bread, I used whole wheat, but by all means throw down whatever it is you like
• eggs
• half and half, or milk
• salt
• hot sauce
• veggies, whatever you're into, I used tomato, zucchini, and a little bit of onion
• cheese, I used cheddar, but once again use whatever you like



Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a baking dish and layer the bottom of you dish with your bread.
In a separate bowl, whisk up your eggs {I used about a dozen} with your half and half {just a bit, depending on how many eggs you use},  a little bit of salt, and a dash or two of hot sauce {depending on how much you like}. Add in your veggies.
Pour this over the bread in the pan. I let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes to absorb into the bread. Top with cheese, and bake in oven until done!
You can also make this ahead of time, instead of baking just cover and place in the fridge. The next morning get up and pop it in the oven.
I hope you enjoy this as much as my family does!
