Veggie Strata

Recipe submitted by DaVita dietitian Roselyn from Colorado.

Portions: 9

Serving size: 3” square

Ingredients

• 7 slices white bread, 1/2” thick
• 1 tablespoon unsalted margarine or butter
• 1/2 cup onion, diced
• 1/2 cup raw mushrooms, diced
• 1/2 cup canned or bottled sweet red peppers, diced
• 10 to 15 fresh spinach leaves
• 7 large eggs
• 1/2 cup tarragon vinegar
• 1-3/4 cup nondairy creamer
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Tabasco® sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 ounce sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Preparation

1. Place bread on baking sheet and bake at 225° F until dry and crisp on both sides, about 15 to 20 minutes per side.
2. Melt margarine in a small skillet and sauté onion and mushrooms. 
3. Grease a 9”-square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange half of the bread in a single layer in the dish and sprinkle with onion, mushrooms and red peppers. Arrange spinach leaves on top.
4. Form a second layer with remaining bread.
5. Whisk together eggs, vinegar, nondairy creamer, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco® sauce and pepper. Pour evenly over the bread.
6. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top. Cover surface with plastic wrap and weigh strata down to compress.
7. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
8. Heat oven to 325° F. Remove weight. Allow strata to stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and bake 50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

Helpful Hints

• Save time by cooking onion and mushrooms with margarine in the microwave instead of on the stovetop.
• Try using a two-pound bag of flour or sugar as weight to compress the strata.
• For a low-cholesterol diet, use 1-3/4 cups low-cholesterol egg product instead of eggs.
