Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cups day-old bread, cubed
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the cubed bread, sautéed broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese to the egg mixture. Gently fold everything together until the bread cubes are evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the strata for extra richness.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the strata is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy your Broccoli Strata!
