Cheesy Egg, Asparagus and Bacon Strata


Strata or stratta is a family of layered casserole dishes in American cuisine. The most common modern variant is a brunch dish, similar to a quiche or frittata, made from a mixture which mainly consists of bread, eggs and cheese. (wikipedia)

5-6 stalks fresh asparagus, blanched
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Spay or lightly oil a small oven-safe casserole dish. Lay blanched asparagus in a row on the bottom. Pour beaten egg over top; sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Bake 20-30 minutes or until eggs are set.
