Overnight Asparagus Strata

http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Overnight-Asparagus-Strata

Really flexible recipe~we made it for Easter brunch since no one wanted to bake a whole ham


  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 English muffins (whole wheat are yummy in this and a smidge healthier), cut into small cubes and toasted
  • 1 cup crumbled smoked cheddar cheese (or whatever cheese you like)
  • 1 cup cubed fully cooked ham
  • 1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
  • 8 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper

Directions

  • Combine asparagus through red pepper in a large bowl.  Mix then pour into a Pam sprayed 13 x 9 inch casserole pan
  • In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, mustard and pepper; pour over muffin mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Sprinkle with a little more cheddar cheese if desired
  • Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the middle comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6-8 servings.
