Skillet Strata With Asparagus and Boursin image

Strata is a baked bread and egg casserole served for breakfast or brunch. This a quick and easy version that could be prepared any time of day as a one-pot meal. The strata can be prepared in a single skillet by building it in steps. Sauté onions, add the bread, and finally the eggs and asparagus, which have been par-cooked in the microwave. The skillet is then slid into an oven to cook through. Tangy, herb-and-garlic-flavored Boursin cheese adds big flavor easily.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb asparagus (tough ends snapped off, spears cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces)
6 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, minced
table salt
4 slices hearty white bread, cut into 1-inch squares
3/4 cup boursin cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Toss asparagus with 2 tablespoons water in microwave-safe bowl.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high power until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in large bowl.
  • Melt butter in large nonstick ovensafe skillet over medium-high heat.
  • When butter foams, swirl to coat skillet and add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Cook until onion is soft, about 3 minutes.
  • Toast the bread so that it better absorbs the egg mixture and also deepens the bread's flavor.
  • Add bread and cook, stirring frequently, until bread and onion are lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Be careful not to brown the onions too quickly--they will continue to brown as they cook with the bread.
  • Off heat, stir in asparagus and egg mixture until well incorporated.
  • Scatter cheese on top and bake until top is puffed and edges have pulled away from sides of pan, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Serve.
