Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large leek or onion, sliced thin
5 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 large red bell pepper, sliced thin (about 2 cups)
1 pound frozen broccoli florets
1 teaspoon dried herb de Provence
6 ounces fresh organic spinach or 1 bag organic baby spinach
12 slices multi-grain bread, (crust removed) cut into 3/4-inch squares
4 ounces mozzarella cheese substitute Soya Kaas, shredded
2 large whole eggs
10 large egg whites
2 1/2 cups unsweetened soy milk
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley or 2 tablespoons dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/2 cups low sodium tomato salsa

Steps:

  • With a paper towel, rub a little olive oil in a 13 X 9 X 2 inch, 2 1/2-quart baking dish. In a large non-stick skillet, water sauté onion, garlic, bell peppers, broccoli, and herb de Provence. Cook covered, over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add water as necessary to prevent scorching. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Spread bread squares evenly in baking dish and top with vegetables. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over vegetables. In a bowl whisk together whole eggs, egg whites, soy milk, parsley, any vegetable liquid, and pepper flakes. Pour evenly over bread and vegetables. At this point you may chill strata, covered, at least 3 hours and up to 12 but that is optional. Preheat oven to 350°F. Meanwhile, let strata stand at room temperature 20 minutes. Bake in middle of oven 45 to 55 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown around edges. Serve strata topped with tomato salsa.
