Cheddar Bacon and Spinach Strata - We Rocking the Breakfast Casserole

Cheddar Bacon and Spinach Strata - We Rocking the Breakfast Casserole -

for such a simple dish, I owe you a lot of additional information to cover regarding the construction of this beautiful bacon, cheddar and spinach strata. First of all, which is the name somewhat unusual. Whoever invented this recipe apparently thought he looked like layers of rock, known in geological circles, "strata".

I guess it kind of did, and would probably much more if we used a deep dish, and we have several layers. Nevertheless, even with one filling layer in the middle, you're still looking at a beautiful pot, which should well impress your brunch guests ... bottomless mimosa or not.

as I mentioned in the video, if you want something a little eggier, a little more like quiche, simply increase the amount of cream used eggs. As your pan is deep enough, you could as much as double the eggs and cream in this area.

Speaking of the best, this is a dish very rich, so you can cut the cream with the milk. In fact, many people use whole milk for that, but I do enjoy the extra fat provides the cream. As usual, let your conscience be your guide.

Above and beyond this recipe beg just for customization. I'm not sure what your favorite omelette ingredients are, but I know they were going to work in this field, and works really well. I hope you give this a try soon. Have fun!
