What is a strata? Around here, we call them breakfast casseroles, but this one is different from any of the other ones I have had before. Any recipe with peppers in it is probably a recipe we want to try.
I did previously write about the sausage strata, and I do like that one more. However, this is a good option for the vegetarians out there.
*This is one of Shauna Niequist's recipes from her book Savor.*
Ingredients:
8 corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups chopped green chiles (three 4 ounce cans)
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (about 4 cups)
6 eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
3/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously coat a 13 X 9 inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil spray. Cover the bottom of the dish with 4 tortillas. Sprinkle with half of the chopped green chiles, then half of the cheese. Repeat layers once more, ending with the cheese.
2. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add milk and salt and whisk until combined. Pour over the layered ingredients in the baking dish. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
3. Bake for 50 or 60 minutes. (The strata should be slightly puffed and bubbly, and turning golden. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
