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

Time 1h20m

Yield 10-12 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1-1/2 pounds fresh asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 loaf (1 pound) sliced bread, crusts removed
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
2 cup cubed fully cooked ham
6 eggs
3 cups milk
2 teaspoons dried minced onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, cover asparagus with water; cover and cook until just tender but still firm. Drain and set aside. Lightly brush butter over one side of bread slices. Place half of the bread, buttered side up, in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese. Layer with asparagus and ham. Cover with remaining bread, buttered side up. In a bowl, lightly beat eggs; add milk, onion, salt and mustard; pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 50 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Return to the oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

The strata was a bit dry. I think I would add some more milk or cream next time.

This strata was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some more salt and pepper next time.

I'm not usually a fan of strata, but this one was really good! The asparagus and cheese were a great combination, and the strata was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again.

This strata was so easy to make and it turned out so well! I used a muffin tin instead of a 9x13 pan and it worked perfectly. The strata was light and fluffy, and the asparagus and cheese were delicious.
