Leeks you likely wouldn't eat raw like you would with green onions. They have a delicate onion flavour, also similar to a scallion but a little milder and sweeter. They are not particularly exciting looking, it's like a giant green onion or scallion. Leeks are one of those vegetables that are easy to overlook in the produce aisle. Just wait until it's ready for the oven, before turning on the oven, so it gets at a head start on soaking time.
It allows the bread to fully soak up the eggs, making for an almost pudding like consistency, but if you are like us and eat more on the fly, it works just as well to be baked off right away. It is a dish that will satisfy any palate and will have you yearning for more.Īnother great thing about a breakfast strata is that it can be prepared the night before, producing the best results. The fat from the prosciutto slowly renders during cooking, allowing the flavour to enter every bite. The result is a comforting, creamy and cheesy, with a subtle onion flavour from the leeks and earthiness of mushrooms. In our recipe, we've incorporated the delicate flavour of spring leeks and mushrooms, and added the sharpness of Canadian cheddar, before topping with a salty prosciutto to bring all the flavours together. While it's preparation is similar to a bread pudding, featuring cubed bread and a creamy egg mixture, it's more cooked and with a firmer, custardy interior. Strata is very easy to make, so much that Philip jokes he can make it with his eyes closed. At Thanksgiving it is our Twice Baked Potatoes, at Christmas it's one of our favourite make ahead breakfast casserole recipes Christmas Morning Wife Saver, and this year for Easter (and probably Mother's Day) it's this, our Breakfast Strata with Mushrooms and Leeks. We're always looking for simple recipes that can please any palate. Holidays can be a little tricky when it comes to cooking, especially when you need to feed a crowd.
Bonus points: it can be prepared the night before. A perfect recipe for Easter Brunch or Mother's Day, our Breakfast Strata with Mushroom and Leeks is comforting, creamy and cheesy.
