COUNTRY BREAKFAST STRATA
Strata is a great way to use up leftover things from the fridge. The stale bread makes a crust and soaks up the seasoned egg mixture and any combination of chopped veggies, breakfast meat and cheeses that make this hearty cheesy and yummy! I love that you can switch up the bread, veggies meats and cheeses to your preference.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Cube approximately 2C. day old (stale) bread and place in casserole dish. (I used 3 whole grain english muffins that were drying out)
- Melt margarine in microwave and pour over cubed bread and lightly season with garlic powder. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes till it starts to get golden brown. (Make it quicker: broil for 5 minutes - watch it closely so it doesn't scorch)
- Meanwhile get the egg mixture into a mixing bowl and scramble well. Set aside. *dried thyme or sweet basil works in this too...
- Chop veggies & meats (my combo was baby spinach, chopped broccoli, mushrooms, green onion, deli ham & sausage)
- After bread bcomes browned pour egg mixture over it and top with 1/4 shredded cheese, all the veggie & meat mixture, then another 1/4 cheese & finally frozen hash browns (season if desired). Bake for 30 minutes. *to crisp up hashbrowns broil for last 5 minutes or pre fry on stovetop*
- Remove casserole from oven and top with remaining cheese blend (my combo was colby jack & pepper jack) bake for 5 minutes to melt cheese then let stand on stovetop for 5 minutes. Cut into squares and serve immediately. Great for Brunch or even a lighter dinner.
