BRIE AND EGG STRATA
We try to always have a lighter casserole at our mothers group breakfast meetings. I mean, who doesn't need to watch the calories after having a baby? This recipe doesn't cut out the flavor though. Plus, the list of ingredients make me think I am having breakfast at some trendy cafe. My friend got this out of Cooking light. Overnight instructions included so all you have to do is pop it in the oven in the morning when you need it.
