ASPARAGUS STRATA



Asparagus Strata image

This makes a very good brunch dish. It needs to be refrigerated overnight before baking. The recipe comes from a TV station.

Provided by Barb G.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 loaf sourdough bread, thinly sliced with crust removed (16-ounce)
1 lb asparagus, blanched and slivered
3/4 lb Fontina cheese, grated
1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomato packed in oil, drained,sliced or chopped
3 tablespoons dried chives
1 cup pine nuts, toasted
12 eggs, beaten
3 cups milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Grease the bottom of a large casserole dish (13X9 works well).
  • Place a single layer of bread in the pan, using 1/2 the bread.
  • Cover with 1/2 asparagus, cheese, tomatoes, chives and pine nuts.
  • Repeat layers, starting with bread.
  • In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Pour evenly over layers.
  • Cover and Refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Remove cover and bake for 1 hour until puffy and brown or internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
  • Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your strata will taste. This is especially true for the asparagus and goat cheese. Aim to use in-season asparagus and a high-quality goat cheese.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality bread: The bread you use for your strata is important. A good quality bread will hold up well in the custard and won't become soggy. Look for a bread that is slightly firm and has a good crust.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is one of the key ingredients in strata. Be generous with the cheese and use a good quality variety. A combination of sharp cheddar and Gruyère cheese works well.
  • Bake the strata until it is golden brown: The strata is done baking when it is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.

Conclusion:

Ham, Asparagus, and Goat Cheese Strata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are a fan of ham, asparagus, or goat cheese, you are sure to enjoy this strata. So next time you are looking for a new recipe to try, give Ham, Asparagus, and Goat Cheese Strata a try.
