Make the most of Spring with our delicious strata, a dish of layered bread, cheese, vegetables and sometimes meat. It's packed with sautéed bright vegetables and a sprinkling of cheese. We went with Swiss, but feel free to swap in your favourite low fat shredded cheese. You can play with the vegetables to change the flavour profile making this a great year-round recipe. The quick 20 minutes of prep time is just simple chopping. The layers of flavour bake into a rich and delicious dish that is ideal for your Easter or Mother's Day tables. Make sure to let your casserole stand before serving as the egg mixture is extremely hot when it comes out of the oven.
