Ingredients

4 teaspoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced (about 2 cups)
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups (8 ounces) sliced mushrooms
Cooking spray
1 whole wheat baguette, crusts removed, cubed (about 5 cups)
8 eggs and 8 egg whites
2 cups lowfat milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
10 ounces broccoli, steamed, cooled and chopped (or frozen, thawed)
1-ounce (1/3 cup) grated Parmesan
4-ounce (1 cup) part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes, reconstituted
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Directions

Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook for another 1 minute. Transfer the onion mixture to a medium bowl and allow to cool. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in the skillet and saute the mushrooms until they release all of their water, about 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely. Spray an oval baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the bread cubes in the dish. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, egg whites, milk and mustard until incorporated. Add mushrooms, onion-garlic mixture, broccoli, Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes, thyme, and salt and pepper and stir to incorporate. Pour mixture over bread, making sure liquid saturates bread. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or at least 8 hours. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the plastic wrap from strata and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until top forms a light brown crust.

Problems of my own making I am sure
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Rated 4 stars for taste. Had two problems. 1.) Some recipes overstate the number of servings. This one does not. There... are really eight servings -- too much for my small family. Will cut recipe in half for next time. 2.) Followed recipe closely but when I dished it up, noticed a layer of liquid in the bottom of dish. I guess I should have tried to pour it off because the leftovers quickly turned into science experiment which no one would eat. Only thing I can figure is did not saute mushrooms long enough. They were soft and tender but guessing they should be really wilted. Probably not a recipe intended for leftovers anyway. Read more

Question
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I'm slightly unsure how many eggs I'm to use - is it 8 full eggs plus an additional 8 egg whites? In other words, I'm... cracking 16 eggs total, right?Read more

"Great for Christmas Breakfast"
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe about six months ago and it turn out very well. My husband really loved it. I am going to make it again... for Christmas breakfast but this time I will cut the recipe in half. It ended up being to much for my family of four. I also just used broccoli and cheese. Like another person said I had to leave it in the oven longer than an hour mine took an additional 45 mintues. I didn't think it was bland at all but that may be because I added a little hot sauce and pepper flakes to mine. If you like quiche then you wiil love this. Yummy yummy goodness! Read more

Full of Flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I doubled this recipe for a brunch and it was a definite hit. I did use all fresh ingredients, including the brocolli and I... didn't "skin" the baguette. It definitely took me longer than 15 minutes to prepare it, however. I especially appreciated serving a healthy egg dish to my guests....a nice variation from the greasy sausage, cheese, egg breakfast stratas that I had used in the past. I have been enjoying the leftovers all week!Read more

Tasty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was a tasty dish, great for Sunday brunch. I made some adjustments such as using multi-grain parmesan garlic croutons,... fat free mozarella, and eggbeaters instead of real eggs. I also added cubed ham and a couple dashes of red chili pepper flakes. Next time, I will leave out the dried tomatoes. They didn't seem to add anything to the dish but rather seemed out of place.Read more

So good!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this dish -- it's like a quiche with big chunks of veggies. The sun-dried tomatoes give it a wonderful savory flavor... -- totally worth the preparing the night before.Read more
