What is a Farmer’s Strata?

A strata is just a fancy way of saying a layered casserole. It’s similar to a frittata or crustless quiche. In a strata, add the ingredients in layers. As it bakes, the flavors meld together into a delicious meal.

Traditionally, a strata is served as a breakfast casserole. The egg mixture is folded in with cubed bread and then baked in a casserole dish. I prefer mine without the bread – just loaded with veggies.

Strata Substitutions

Although I’m trying to eat more kale, it does not make or break this recipe. If someone really dislikes kale, turn this into a spinach strata instead by swapping them out.

Sausage, bacon, and potatoes also make good substitutes for a strata. In this version, I used fresh parsley and cilantro. You can easily substitute other fresh or dried herbs. If using dried herbs, use 1 Tablespoon of each herb.

How to Make Breakfast Strata

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Begin by whisking the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Set aside. Use room temperature eggs for extra fluffiness.

Warm oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sauté kale stems, onions, and mushrooms. Add the kale leaves and fresh herbs by laying them on top. do not mix in. Carefully layer tomatoes, and feta cheese on top of the mixture as well.

Carefully pour the eggs over the vegetables. Lift up the edges of the eggs as they cook in the skillet. Once the bottom of the strata starts to brown, transfer it to the oven.

Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes. Slice into wedges before serving.
