Individual Strata Food

GRANDMA'S ANYTHING GOES STRATA

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Grease a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, half-and-half, nutmeg, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Fold the greens, meat, bread and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese into the mixture. Pour into the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining cheese.
• Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake until the strata is puffed, golden brown at the edges and set in the center, about 15 minutes more. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

MY INDIVIDUAL MICROWAVE "STRATA"

Steps:

• Dice the tomato, onion, jalapeno, and mushroom. Mix with black beans and add spices to taste.
• Put into individual microwave bowl and cook on high for 45 seconds.
• Beat egg white until frothy. Tastes better I think with the whole egg but healthier with just egg white. Pour evenly over the mixture in the bowl.
• Toast the bread. Cut it into cubes and make it the top layer in the strata. Here I also like to drizzle some smart buds butter spread on top but you can either add your favorite sauce or leave as is.
• Microwave on high for 1 minute. Check. Microwave again until the egg is completely set.
