I love this Farmer’s Strata with Kale, Tomato, Mushrooms, and Feta. It’s one of the foods that I could eat anytime; breakfast, brunch, lunch, you get the idea.
We’ll often have it for a “Breakfast for Dinner” night in our house. It quick and easy to make making it a perfect meal for our busy life.
A strata is just a fancy way of saying a layered casserole. It’s similar to a frittata or crustless quiche. In a strata, you add the ingredients in layers. As it bakes, the flavors meld together into a delicious meal. You can easily substitute other ingredients in this strata to your liking; sausage, bacon, potatoes, spinach, no cheese, etc. 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.
This Farmer’s Strata with kale is part of my New Food of the Week Challenge. I challenged myself to add more kale to my diet. This Farmer’s Strata is a perfect way to add kale and other vegetables in a quick and easy meal. My New Food of the Week Challenge is about eating healthy and trying new foods. Kale is a versatile leafy greens that can be used in dishes like this, smoothies, soups, and more.
