@kalejunkie: ONE PAN HIGH PROTEIN BREAKFAST STRATA, truly an incredible breakfast that is so easy to make! Most strata recipes are loaded with butter and heavy cream and while I love indulgent recipes from time to time, I don't love them in the morning bc then I don't feel great all day. This recipe is the best of both worlds—healthier and higher in protein, while still giving the vibes of comfort food. If you aren't familiar with a strata, it's kind of like a big frittata but has toasted bread inside for lots of crunch and puffiness. I can't wait for you to try this recipe and be sure to tag me in your creations so l can repost! Makes 8 servings 8 eggs 3/4 cup milk of choice 1 cup cottage cheese 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided 1 baguette, cubed into 1-inch pieces (3 cups) 3 tb olive oil 1 leek, halved and thinly sliced 1 small onion, finely diced (about 1/2 cup) 4 cloves garlic 1 tb italian seasoning 1 tsp kosher salt 1 cup baby tomatoes, halved 110 oz pkg frozen spinach, thawed, moisture squeezed out (or 2 cups fresh) Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cottage cheese and 1/2 cup of the parm cheese, until as smooth as possible (it will be a bit chunky because of the cottage cheese, but that is okay!). Set aside. Next, cut bread into cubes. Add olive oil to a 10-12 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the bread and season with s&p. Cook bread, stirring until it gets crispy and golden. Remove the bread from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Add another to of olive oil to the skillet, along with the leek, onion, garlic, italian seasoning, and salt, stirring for about 3-4 min, until the onions have softened. Add tomatoes and spinach, stirring another two min. Finally, add the bread cubes back in. Pour egg mixture on top and gently mix everything to ensure the bread is coated. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Bake for 35 min or until the eggs are set and the strata has puffed up. Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 min before slicing and serving. ENJOY! #strata #breakfaststrata #breakfastrecipes #EasyRecipes
