Ingredients

  • 1 whole wheat baguette, cubed (about 5 cups)
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 large onion, diced (about 2 cups)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups (8 ounces) mushrooms, washed, sliced
  • 12 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 10 ounces broccoli, steamed, cooled, and chopped (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 cup (113 g) sharp cheddar cheese
  • cup (33 g) parmesan cheese, grated
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained, thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  • In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add 2 teaspoons of the oil.
  • When the oil is hot, 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 for about 6 to 7 minutes. Make sure they are thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat and cool completely.
  • Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Arrange the bread cubes in the dish.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and mustard until incorporated.
  • To the eggs, add the mushrooms, onion-garlic mixture, broccoli, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Stir to incorporate.
  • Pour mixture over bread, making sure liquid saturates bread. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours.

When Ready To Bake

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the plastic wrap from strata and bake, uncovered, for 55 to 60 minutes, or until top forms a light brown crust. Serve immediately.
