This healthy spring veggie breakfast strata is a delicious make-ahead breakfast or brunch! It's made with whole grain bread cubes for a healthier take on the classic strata. Prepare it the night before and simply preheat your oven the next morning to bake up your easy, cheesy breakfast!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 12 ounces bread, cut into 1-inch. cubes
  • extra virgin olive oil, for sautéing veggies
  • 1/2 pound asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (set aside 1/2 cup for top of strata)
  • 1/2 cup feta
  • 9 eggs
  • 1 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  2. Heat some olive oil in a skillet and sauté asparagus and onions for four minutes (until they start to soften). Sprinkle with salt and remove from heat.
  3. Add the bread cubes, asparagus, onion, spinach, half of the mozzarella, and feta to the baking dish. Lightly stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  4. Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper (or blend in a blender).
  5. Pour the egg mixture all over the bread cubes, veggies, and cheese. Sprinkle reserved mozzarella over the top of the strata.
  6. Cover the strata with aluminum foil and set in the fridge overnight (or at least three hours).
  7. The next morning or when you are ready to bake, remove the strata from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature for 10 minutes while you preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 45-50 minutes. You'll know the breakfast strata is done when the eggs are no longer jiggly in the center.
  8. Cut into squares and serve!

Notes

1. Storing & Reheating: If you have leftovers, you can store the veggie breakfast strata in a glass container in the fridge.

2. Freezing: To freeze, prepare the breakfast strata through step 6, then cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow it to fully thaw in the refrigerator before baking.
