BACON & CHEDDAR STRATA
I prepare this sunrise specialty the day before Christmas so we have something cheesy and hearty to warm our tummies while we open gifts the next morning. The key to its perfection is to let it set overnight.-Deb Healey, Cold Lake, Alberta

SPINACH, BACON AND CHEESE STRATA
Adapted from WeightWatchers - a Strata is sort of like an omlette, and sort of like a quiche. It's cooked stovetop, and then broiled in the oven - so if you don't have an oven-proof skillet, cover the handle with aluminum foil before broiling! Weight Watchers Points per slice: 4
