Tell All - Vegetable Cheese Strata

How goes it with this one?

As Jen pointed out when she picked this, it is perfect for Fathers Day brunch.

I have already made this and it was absolutely delicious.

  1. We made it today for Father's Day and it was a huge hit! I halved the recipe for the two of us and still have enough for leftovers! I used cojita cheese, asparagus and mushrooms. I also used homemade rye bread that needed to be used up, and it was awesome!

  2. This was fantastic! A real sleeper of a recipe, but so versatile. I also used up leftover bread and made 1/8th of the recipe, and it was delicious.

  3. I don't think I'll be able to get anyone else to eat this with me; is it something that can be reheated easily? I will probably halve the recipe, but that still leaves me with some leftovers. I've always been nervous about reheating cooked eggs.... someone tell me it's OK :)

  4. I have a loaf of light style whole wheat bread that I would like to use up, rather than buying a baguette. Does anyone have an opinion on using thinly sliced bread instead of a baguette? I am nervous that it may come out mushy...

  5. Lauryn,

    If I was going to use a more thinly sliced loaf bread, I would probably try to stale it first. That may help with the mushiness.

  6. Liz,

    You easily cut this recipe down to just 1 serving for yourself. I don't know how well this will reheat, but the bread really soaks up all the egg so the reheat may not be as bad as regular eggs would be.

  7. Thanks, Sara! I went with the whole wheat bread that I had, and as luck would have it, it was definitely stale!! :) It's in the fridge now and I am looking forward to tasting it tomorrow!

  8. Kind of a silly question, but did anyone refrigerate for less than 8 hours? Silly me was going to make this tonight (I love breakfast for dinner!) but didn't read the recipe til just now. I can likely squeeze in 6 hours, what do you all think?

  9. Amy:

    I think 6 hours will be fine. Of course, the recommendation is probably there for a reason, but I don't think you will lose anything going 75% of setting time.

  10. Yeah - I was impressed by this one. Soaking the bread did wonders.

    Hey, Nick and Sarah, I was wondering if it would be possible to get people together on Facebook. I use Facebook all the time, and it would be nice to see blogs updated in that way. Would this be a possibility?
