strata

 I had a nice baguette left over and they're always best fresh, so I cut it up and made strata which turned out very good.  I just used what was in the refrigerator, and it's a great recipe for that.  All the proportions can be adjusted.

  • 1/2 baguette - chopped or ripped up; if it's too fresh let it dry out (I left it a day in a pan with cover), 
Then whisk together:
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • cheese (parmesan, extra sharp cheddar)
  • salt, pepper 

Mix the egg mixture into the bread and leave it to soak overnight or all day. 

Chop and saute:

  • onion (or green onion)
  • garlic (I used 4 cloves)
  • greens 
  • other vegetables, meat, etc. needing to be used up (had some cooked ground turkey I tossed in)
Stir vegetables into the egg/bread mixture.

Bake at 325 degrees for 70-80 minutes.
