Strata Recipes

Strata means "layer" in Italian. I used up leftovers in the fridge to make this strata, which includes 6 fresh eggs from our chickens. Get creative with your own fillings and use bits of what's in the house already.

Delicious, easy and low calorie brunch for two

A treat breakfast! Makes for a huge serving size. Could serve 8 people if served as a side dish.

Spray an 8X8 inch (20 cm x 20 cm) square cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

•Blend together, in a medium size mixing bowl, 1/3 cup (75 mL) SPLENDA® Granulated, egg substitute, milk, and maple flavour.

•Tear Cinnamon Raisin Bread into 1-2 inch (3 – 5 cm) pieces. Toss bread and sliced apples into mixing bowl with other ingredients. Toss to just coat bread. Pour bread mixture into prepared pan.

•Cut cream cheese into 8 chunks and place on top of strata.

•Blend remaining 1 tbsp (15 mL) SPLENDA® Granulated and cinnamon together. Sprinkle over strata. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

This strata substitutes half of the turkey sausage for veggie sausage and uses skim milk instead of full fat milk. Definitely a yummy and healthy alternative to traditional strata.

Made with left-over veggies, anything that I have on hand.

Loosely based on Giada's.

I've adapted the recipe from the Looneyspoons Collection book -- the original calls for mild sausage, but I like spicy, zucchini (which I switched for celery and spinach) and croutons instead of buns but I used what I had and loved it.

In your pre-BLE days, did any of you ever make "Strata"? Layers of bread and cheese baked with eggs and milk? Here is a BLE version!

Needed to use left over Challah, fat free (or as near as possible). This first rendition was not bad but needs more seasoning.

Update

Had some for lunch and on a whim used the last bit of Rose City Pepperheads Mango Madness. YUMMMMMMMMY! In fact, it would be better with just a plain, non-marinated tempeh (the crispness of the tempeh survived the baking nicely). That would also reduce the sodium level considerably. Can't wait to try this again. Just have to figure out where we found that jelly. (It's both spicy and sweet, made with sweet red peppers and mango peppers.)

This Mexican inspired casserole is a layered delight. Roasted pork mingles with seasoned rice, creamy pinto beans, cheese, roasted tomatoes, and crumbled cornbread. Top it at home with sour cream and avocado and you'll find there won't be a leftover in sight!
