What’s your favorite strata or breakfast casserole?

last modified: 9 years ago

Hosting the whole family for Thanksgiving again this year, and will have 11 overnight guests, so I want to make an elaborate brunch-type dish that will keep everyone satisfied until we have our dinner in the late afternoon. Stratas are always a favorite, yet I’d like to try something new. Any ideas or favorites?

    MizGG, thanks so much for this. I need to bring a hearty breakfast dish to an 8 a.m. meeting and I was planning to make a similar recipe, but I like yours better. :)

    This is delicious and easy. I just made it for a brunch and it was a hit. http://www.crumblycookie.net/2008/04/17/breakfast-strata-with-sausage-mushrooms-and-monterey-jack/

    They both look good, but we are sausage and mushroom lovers, so I’m going to give dog’s a try first! thanks so much!

    We always liked Eggs Bel Mar, from an old Southern Living cookbook. It has Canadian bacon, mushrooms, and deliciousness! I miss making it for large family gatherings!

    You might peruse this website of recipes from B&Bs...they typically know breakfast for a crowd.

    I make a baked French Toast with apples that is pretty sweet;'it's best served with a side of bacon or ham. You make it the day before and refrigerate. After it is baked, you invert it onto a platter....the ingredients make its own syrup and it is truly delicious. Wildly caloric, I can't eat more than a couple of bites but everyone LOVES it.

    Wait--- I think I posted this not too long ago, or is my memory playing me up again?

    MizzGG's is very similar to one I made Sunday. Mine was eggs, turkey sausage and cheese. You can do variations, we like red and green peppers and onions added sometimes. I've never tried sundried tomatoes but that sounds like a good addition!

    OMG, they all sound delicious! MizzGG, don't you love The Kitchn site? I find so many great recipes there. I've been searching for something along the lines of a breakfast casserole myself, as it would come in handy during the busy upcoming holidays. But, since we've pretty much eliminated potatoes, breads, white and brown rice, and too much cheese (in one dish, I mean), I'm having a problem finding one that is healthful (yes, that word again- lol) and delicious, too. I've been experimenting with a baked casserole using cooked farro, almond milk, eggs and some fresh grated Parmesan cheese in it. I've added chopped kale or spinach to it and green onions. So far, we like it, but I'm still working on the final product before adding it to my website. You all are inspiring me here. I'm thinking that I'll try adding a layer of sautéed mushrooms and turkey bacon next. Maybe substituting Greek yogurt cream cheese for the Parmesan cheese. My best friend is a retired home-ec teacher, and I sometimes run my recipe ideas past her for advise on the quantities, etc. She just read over every recipe on our recipe website for me, just in case. No corrections, thank goodness!
