BLT Strata

• 4-6 slices of bacon
• 1 c. chopped tomatoes - a variety of tomatoes can be quite pretty
• 1 c. torn fresh spinach
• 4 c. torn bread - day-old bakery or leftover buns work well
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. ground black pepper
• 6 eggs
• 1/4 c. half & half
• 3/4 c. shredded cheese

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Dice the bacon and fry it in a medium nonstick skillet until crisp.

Add the tomatoes, spinach, bread, salt, and pepper and toss well with the bacon to combine in the skillet.

Mix the eggs and half & half together and pour evenly into the skillet. Sprinkle the top of the skillet with the shredded cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted. Serve hot.
