Portobello and Asparagus Egg Strata


1 tablespoon extra Virgin Olive oil
1 1/2 coups chopped yellow onion
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 (8 0z) package Baby Bella mushrrom, thinly sliced
1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths
1 teaspoon salt
8 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
Black pepper to taste
5 cups (1-inch) cubes sourdough bread
4 ounces herb or plain goat cheese, crumbled.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and thyme and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, mushrooms, asparagus and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and cook 5 more minutes longer. Set aside. Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, parsley, pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Set aside.

Spread half of the bread over the bottom of a light greased 9x13-inch baking dish. top with half of the mushroom mixture and a third of the goat cheese. Layer with remaining bread and mushroom mixture and pour egg mixture evenly over the top. Cover strata and chill overnight.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove strata from refrigerator and bring to room temperature while the oven heats. Sprinkle remaining two-thirds goat cheese over the top and bake until firm in the center and golden brown on top, about 45 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

This egg dish easily adapts to other vegetable or cheeses, like blanched broccoli rabe and sharp cheddar or artichoke hearts with a Parmesan and Fontina combo.

Muddy Buddies

9 c Chex cereal 1 c semi-sweet choco chips 1/2 c creamy peanut butter 1/4 c (1/2 stick) butter or margarine 1 tsp vanilla 1-1/2 c powdered sugar Place cereal in large bowl. Place chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in high for 1-1/2 minutes or until mixture is smooth when stirred. Stir in vanilla. Pour chocolate mixture over cereal, stirring until all pieces are evenly coated. Pour mixture into large plastic bag with powdered sugar; shake until all pieces are coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Makes about 9 cups. Instead of putting this all into a plastic bag like it asks, I have a big "that's a bowl" from tupperware that I put everything into. I put on the lid and shake it. I don't spread it on waxed paper to cool, I just make sure there is enough powdered sugar to cover all the pieces. Then you can transfer it to a clean container for serving.
