Wednesdays Unplugged – Asiago, Mushroom and Sausage Strata

"Probably the reason we all go so haywire at Christmas time with the endless unrestrained and often silly buying of gifts is that we don't quite know how to put our love into words." ~  Harlan Miller

 NOTE: I spend my Wednesdays Unplugged from appointments. It's my day to stay home, enjoy cooking and welcome our kids and grandkids for dinner in the evening. We end our meal with quotes from the Norwegian 'Quote Cup' passed on to me from my grandmother. I share a quote and a recipe here each week, and sometimes some photos of family fun. I love trying new recipes…and love getting recipes you would like to share.

Sina-tomteHad a special morning on Tuesday with our son and granddaughter at the American Swedish Institute. It was a fun time learning about 'tomte', finding them hidden throughout the mansion and making a tomte to take home.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Had a delicious strata at a Christmas party last week… would make a great breakfast dish for Christmas or New Years. Thank you, Barb, for this recipe .

Please bread in a lightly greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Sprinkle mushroom mixture and 1/2 cup cheese over bread. Whisk together eggs and remaining 3 ingredients. Pour over mushrooms and bread. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and chill at least 8 hours.
