Number Of Ingredients 10

8 egg whites If you don't happen to have 8 egg whites in your fridge, you could substitute 1 egg for every 2 egg whites.
3 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 cups cubed bread (day old, dry bread is best)
6 ounces diced (cooked) ham
10 ounces frozen asparagus spears, thawed
2 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8 by 8-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, eggs, milk, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Place the cubed bread in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread the ham in a layer on top of the cubed bread. Pour the egg mixture down over the ham and bread, and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes.
Arrange the asparagus spears on top of the strata and sprinkle with the cheddar cheese.
Bake for approximately 60 minutes, until the eggs are set and the top is golden. Serve warm.
