This looks awesome and I will make it...but you can see we need to use

lower-fat ingredients (and perhaps way less cheese) to bring down the 27

grams of fat! This would be a fun Xmas morning dish, perhaps. I know I

will have to try it, as STRATA's are my latest passion -- for ease in

making mostly -- but they taste good too and my family loves em.

Recipe By : " Cinnamon Mornings " by Pamela Lanier

Categories : Strata Egg Casseroles

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

8 slices bread

7 eggs

2 1/2 cups milk

1 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

4 ounces green chili peppers -- chopped

3 cups sharp cheddar cheese -- grated

3 cups Monterey jack cheese -- grated

1 avocado -- sliced

1/2 cup sour cream

 

The night before, place slices of bread in a 9 " by 12 " buttered casserole

dish. (Can also be placed in individual casseroles.) Spread the chilies

over the bread. Mix together the eggs, milk, oregano, garlic, and

salt. Pour the egg mixture over the chilies. Sprinkle the cheese over the

entire dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

 

The next morning, preheat over to 325 degrees F. Bake for 50 minutes or

until puffy and barely set. (Bake individual casseroles for 15

minutes.) Serve immediately with avocado slices and sour cream

garnish. Serves 8 to 12.

 

Typed by Brenda Adams who lusts for this dish, but wonders: how can we get

the fat down - 27 grams! (lower-fat cheese -- do we really need that

much(?), egg substitute, low-fat sour cream) and 15 minutes for individual

servings as compared to 50? xpst to MC, Veg, Allcookbook 11/00.
