Vegetarian Egg Strata image

"I used to make this with turkey or chicken sausage, but adapted it for a vegetarian friend, and it was a huge hit. I serve it with fresh breads or bagels and a big mixed salad featuring arugula, apples and walnuts for brunch. It also works well for lunch, served with tomato bisque." -Danna Rogers, Westport, Connecticut

I'm allergic to eggs, so I used a flax egg instead. It worked great and the strata was still delicious.

This strata was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add some more milk or cream next time.

This strata was a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some spinach, mushrooms, and zucchini, and it turned out great.

I found that the strata was a bit too eggy for my liking. I think I would use less eggs next time.

This strata was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some more herbs or spices next time.
