Asparagus Cheese Strata Main Dish image

Last spring we visited old friends who serve this egg dish for Sunday breakfast before church. I thought it was wonderful and full of flavor. Besides, it's easy to make ahead. I use fresh asparagus and serve it with muffins and fresh fruit. -Betty Jacques, Hemet, California

1-1/2 pounds fresh asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
