Spinach, Bacon and Cheese Strata image

Adapted from WeightWatchers - a Strata is sort of like an omlette, and sort of like a quiche. It's cooked stovetop, and then broiled in the oven - so if you don't have an oven-proof skillet, cover the handle with aluminum foil before broiling! Weight Watchers Points per slice: 4

Yield 6 slices, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons olive oil
4 slices cooked crisp turkey bacon
1/2 cup onion
1 cup cooked spinach

3 slices light whole wheat bread
3 large eggs
1 cup Egg Beaters egg substitute
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup cabot light reduced-fat cheddar cheese

  • Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add onion sauté until vegetable are soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add spinach and fold until wilted. Remove vegetables from pan and set aside.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Off heat, coat same skillet with cooking spray. Arrange bread slices tightly in bottom of skillet.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, EggBeaters, milk, mustard, salt and pepper; pour over bread and allow milk mixture to soak in entirely (like when you make French toast). Sprinkle bread with 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese.
  • Place skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Cook, shaking pan frequently to promote even cooking, until almost cooked through to the top, about 4 or 5 minutes.
  • Place skillet under broiler to set eggs, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from broiler; top with bacon-vegetable mixture, cheddar cheese and remaining tablespoon of Parmesan cheese. Place skillet under broiler again until cheese melts, about 1 to 2 minutes. Slice into 6 pieces and serve. Yields 1 piece per serving.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a different type of cheese. I used cheddar, but I think a Swiss or Gruyère would be better.

This strata was a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk or cream next time.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed this strata. The bacon and cheese really balanced out the flavor of the spinach.

This strata was a little too eggy for my taste. I think I would use less eggs next time.
