Egg Strata

This is a recipe that I must make at least once a month, you know when you have had some left over french baguette & making breadcrumbs is not on the agenda. I just hate throwing food away and find that many of my best recipes include some form of leftover, be it chicken, veggies or some bread, very rarely do items make it to the dustbin.

The one thing that I do with this recipe, as even my dishwasher struggles to move the baked on crispy bits is to use a disposable foil tray, failing that line your baking tray with foil - you will thank me later!

Ingredients

10 Large free range eggs
75g Cheddar Cheese
2 spring onions - finely chopped
dash of tabasco
salt and pepper to taste
drizzle of olive oil
(if you feel in the mood a touch of mustard powder is always good here too)
left over baguette - cut into 1 inch slices (9 slices - or enough to fill your baking dish snuggly)

Method

Place the baguette sliced side up into a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.

In another dish whisk the eggs, and add the remaining ingredients except the cheese then pour over the waiting baguette.

Sprinkle chunks of cheese over the top of the bread

Cover and leave in the fridge over night or for at least 4 hours

Remove from fridge and pop in the oven for 35 - 45 minutes until golden, pillowy and the egg is set.

Serve either as a lunch with a side salad or for breakfast with slices of crispy streaky bacon and ketchup

Enjoy - Makes 4 servings
