Look at how beautifully cheesy and colorful this delicious, hearty, easy strata is. Stratas make an excellent breakfast or brunch, and they give you the perfect opportunity to use up leftover vegetables, lean meats, and day-old bread. The bread soaks up a mixture of eggs, egg whites, milk, and Dijon mustard before sprinkling with the bacon, onion, asparagus, and not one, but two types of cheese: cheddar and Parmesan. Feel free to mix up the veggies and cheese with whatever you have on hand. And if you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, you can cover the handle with aluminum foil before broiling.
