Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the strata will be. Use fresh asparagus, thick-cut ham, and a good quality Gruyère cheese.
- Don't overcook the asparagus. Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, not mushy. Cook it for 2-3 minutes in boiling water, or until it is bright green and slightly tender.
- Use a good quality bread. A good quality bread will help the strata to rise and be fluffy. Use a French bread, a sourdough bread, or a hearty whole wheat bread.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the strata tough. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined.
- Bake the strata until it is golden brown and bubbly. The strata is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
Maple ham and asparagus strata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. Serve it with a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
