Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 teaspoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced (about 2 cups)
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups (8 ounces) sliced mushrooms
Nonstick cooking spray
1 whole wheat baguette, crusts removed, cubed (about 5 cups)
8 eggs and 8 egg whites
2 cups low-fat milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
10 ounces broccoli, steamed, cooled and chopped (or frozen, thawed)
1-ounce (1/3 cup) grated Parmesan
4-ounce (1 cup) part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes, reconstituted
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook for another 1 minute. Transfer the onion mixture to a medium bowl and allow to cool. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in the skillet and saute the mushrooms until they release all of their water, about 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely. Spray an oval baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the bread cubes in the dish. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, egg whites, milk and mustard until incorporated. Add mushrooms, onion-garlic mixture, broccoli, Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes, thyme, and salt and pepper and stir to incorporate. Pour mixture over bread, making sure liquid saturates bread. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or at least 8 hours. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the plastic wrap from strata and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until top forms a light brown crust.

CHEESE AND BROCCOLI STRATA



Cheese and Broccoli Strata image

This is a good dish to serve at a brunch, particularly since all the "hard" work can be done the night before. Note that the cooking time includes a few hours for refrigeration. I think I got this one from the Byerly's cookbook.

Time 5h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 slices bread, trimmed and cubed
10 ounces frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
3 eggs, slightly beaten
2 1/4 cups milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon barbecue spice
1 teaspoon garlic salt
paprika

Steps:

  • Layer bread, broccoli, and 1/2 of cheese in a buttered 9 x 13 baking dish.

  • Refrigerate, covered, several hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven, and sprinkle the strata with paprika.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 35 minutes.

  • Allow to set for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli, or it will become mushy.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the broccoli into even-sized pieces, so they cook evenly.
  • Grate the cheese finely, so it melts smoothly.
  • Season the strata generously with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Bake the strata until it is golden brown and bubbly.
  • Let the strata cool for a few minutes before serving, so it has a chance to set.
