MUSHROOM, SWISS, & THYME BREAKFAST STRATA WITH OPTIONAL BACON

Steps:

• In a medium saute pan, heat the olive oil and saute the onion and mushrooms until soft, about 5 - 6 minutes. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, thyme, salt, and pepper until well-beaten.
• Spray an 8-inch x 8-inch x at least 2-inch deep baking pan/casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray (or grease with butter).
• Lay four bread slices on the bottom of the pan.
• Sprinkle bread with 1/2 of the sauteed vegetables.
• Add 1/2 of the cheese.
• Pour half of the egg mixture over the top.
• Add the remaining four slices of bread in a single layer, then the veggies, then the cheese. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the top.
• Cover tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight, or for at least three hours.
• In the morning, uncover and bake at 325 degrees for about 50 minutes, until the strata is set (it will no longer jiggle in the middle).
• Let cool for about 10 minutes, then serve.

OVERNIGHT BACON BRUNCH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Grease a 9x13-inch pan. Layer brioche cubes evenly in the prepared pan.
• Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, including any rendered bacon fat, and allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Heat a small amount of bacon fat in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and bell pepper until soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat eggs in a large bowl. Mix milk, Cheddar cheese, mustard powder, pepper, and salt into the beaten eggs. Mix in bacon and onion-bell pepper mixture when done. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the brioche bread cubes and give it a gentle stir so everything is evenly distributed. Gently press the cubes into the egg mixture as needed, so all the bread cubes are sitting in the liquid. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours, to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until set, the top is browned, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the casserole comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving, 5 to 10 minutes.
