I am super excited to be “guest” blogging for my wonderful friend “Tina” here at cheftini.com . This is a recipe that is actually a “Spin-off of an Easter Strata that my mom used to make for our annual Easter brunch. Traditionally she would always add Ham, broccoli and various cheeses but, my version is a tad bit lighter and gluten free with a ton of fresh veggies. Great for just about anytime of day and will totally make your mouth go a little bit “loco” for this mouth watering dish.

- Next, beat eggs in a bowl adding a dash of salt and pepper. Pour beaten eggs over bread cubes and set aside.
