Number Of Ingredients 12

vegetable-oil cooking spray
1 medium onion, sliced thin (about 3 cups)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large green bell pepper, sliced thin (about 2 cups)
1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced thin (about 2 cups)
12 very thin slices firm white sandwich bread, cut into 3/4-inch squares (about 5 cups)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 1 1/2 ounces)
4 large whole eggs
4 large egg whites
2 1/2 cups skim milk
1/2 cup packed fresh parsley leaves, washed well, spun dry, and chopped fine

Steps:

  • Lightly spray a 2 1/2-quart baking dish, 13 by 9 by 2 inches, with cooking spray.
  • In a large non-stick skillet cook onion and 1 tablespoon garlic in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until onion is pale golden. Stir in bell peppers and salt and black pepper to taste and cook, covered, over moderately low heat 5 minutes, or until peppers are just tender. Remove lid and cook vegetables, stirring, until any excess liquid is evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Spread half of bread squares evenly in baking dish and top with half of vegetables. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Parmesan evenly over vegetables and top with remaining bread and vegetables.
  • In a bowl whisk together whole eggs, whites, milk, parsley, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, and salt and pepper to taste and pour evenly over bread and vegetables. Chill strata, covered, at least 3 hours and up to 12.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: The type of peppers you use will greatly affect the flavor of your salsa. For a mild salsa, use bell peppers or poblano peppers. For a medium salsa, use serrano peppers or jalapeño peppers. For a hot salsa, use habanero peppers or cayenne peppers.
  • Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers will give them a smoky flavor and make them easier to peel. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-10 minutes, or until they are charred. Once the peppers are roasted, place them in a paper bag and let them steam for 10 minutes. This will make it easier to peel the peppers.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs: The seeds and ribs of the peppers are the hottest parts of the pepper. If you want a milder salsa, remove the seeds and ribs before chopping the peppers.
  • Chop the peppers finely: The finer you chop the peppers, the more evenly the flavor will be distributed throughout the salsa. You can also use a food processor to chop the peppers.
  • Add other ingredients: In addition to peppers, you can also add other ingredients to your salsa, such as tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice. The possibilities are endless, so experiment and find a combination that you enjoy.

Conclusion:

Fresh pepper salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a fresh pepper salsa recipe that you will love. So next time you are looking for a way to add some excitement to your meal, give fresh pepper salsa a try.
