Strata is usually one of our staples for large family gatherings or special weekend brunches. And I love having leftovers that reheat quickly during the week. Usually I work from home so breakfast and lunch is not a hectic affair. But today I knew I would be gone all day and would need something a little more substantial than toast and almond butter. I had half a loaf of seedy, whole grain bread in front of me and decided to try a quick version of a strata- a savory french toast of sorts. I ripped up the bread and soaked it in an egg and milk mixture while I cooked some onion, broccoli and sausage. I then poured the soaked bread into the pan, gave it a little stir, topped it with cheese and covered it while I got my daughter's lunch ready. I then threw it under the broiler for a few minutes and ta-da! Strata!
