Ingredients
  

Bread Base
  • 6 slices stale bread cubed
Vegetables
  • 1 cup asparagus trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup spinach fresh
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 small red onion diced
Egg Mixture
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk whole or 2%
  • 1 cup shredded cheese such as cheddar or mozzarella
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Method
 

Prepare the Strata
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and thyme until well combined.
  3. Layer the cubed bread in the greased baking dish, followed by the vegetables and cheese.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and vegetables. Press down gently to ensure the bread absorbs the liquid.
  5. Cover the dish with foil and let it sit for 20 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the mixture.
  6. Remove the foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the egg is set.
  7. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
