Breakfast for Dinner Recipe #3

Apple Berry Strata

1 tsp butter

8 pasture eggs

1 cup almond milk

¼ cup coconut syrup, maple syrup OR honey

1 tsp vanilla

1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground nutmeg

8 slices sprouted whole grain bread, cut into 1×1 inch cubes

3 sweet firm apples, cored and sliced thin

½ cup of frozen berries of choice

Glaze (optional)

1/3 cup strained grass fed greek yogurt

1 tbs coconut syrup, maple syrup OR honey

2 tbs almond milk

½ tsp vanilla

Lightly butter a 9×13 casserole dish. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs thoroughly. Whisk in milk, sugar, vanilla cinnamon and nutmeg until well combined.

In a casserole dish add 1/3 bread in a layer along the bottom. The next layer, add ½ apple and berries. Repeat ending with a top bread layer.

Pour egg mixture slowly and even over bread, berries and apples. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. You can be baked immediately but the texture is not as uniform and dense.

When you are ready to bake preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 35 minutes with foil on. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes. If Strata is cold from refrigerator add 10 minutes to the covered time. Let Strata stand for 10 minutes to firm up before serving.

For optional glaze, add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk vigorously. Drizzle over Strata and dust with additional cinnamon.
