Categories     Milk/Cream     Egg     Mushroom     Onion     Side     Bake     Vegetarian     Cheddar     Parmesan     Bell Pepper     Gourmet

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
1 cup finely chopped scallion
3/4 pound mushrooms, sliced thin
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 red bell peppers, cut into thin strips (about 2 cups)
2 green bell peppers, cut into thin strips (about 2 cups)
enough Italian bread cut into 1-inch cubes to measure 9 cups (about 1 1/2 loaves)
2 1/2 cups coarsely grated extra-sharp Cheddar (about 10 ounces)
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
12 large eggs
3 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
Tabasco to taste

Steps:

  • In a large skillet cook the onion, the scallion, and the mushrooms in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, add the bell peppers and salt and pepper to taste, and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until all the liquid the mushrooms give off is evaporated and the peppers are tender. Arrange half the bread cubes in a buttered large shallow (4 1/2-quart) baking dish, spread half the vegetable mixture over them, and sprinkle half the Cheddar and half the Parmesan over the vegetables. Arrange the remaining bread cubes over the cheeses, top them with the remaining vegetables, and sprinkle the remaining cheeses over the top. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, the milk, the mustard, the Tabasco, and salt and pepper to taste, pour the egg mixture evenly over the strata, and chill the strata, covered, overnight. Let the strata stand at room temperature for 15 minutes and bake it in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until it is puffed and golden and cooked through.

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced green onion
1 (8 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
5 cups Italian bread, cubes 1 inch
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
6 large eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce

Steps:

  • Let oil get hot in a large skillet.
  • Add in onions and mushrooms; saute until tender.
  • Add in bell pepper; cook and stir frequently for 10 minutes or until liquid evaporates.
  • Put 2 1/2 cups bread cubes evenly in a lightly greased 11x7 inch baking dish.
  • Top with half of the mushroom mixture.
  • Sprinkle with half the cheddar cheese and half the parmesan cheese; repeat layers.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, mustard, salt, pepper, and hot sauce until well blended; pour over the strata.
  • Cover and refrigerate 8 hours.
  • Let strata set out on counter for 15 minutes while the oven is preheating.
  • Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until set.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your strata a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, spinach, and tomatoes.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still retain some of their crunch.
  • Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your strata. Some good options include cheddar, Swiss, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the strata tough.
  • Bake the strata until it is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.

Conclusion:

Vegetable cheese strata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a strata that is sure to impress your family and friends.
