Brunch time is such a fun part of weekends, or weekdays if you’re like me and are always ready to have brunch. I love egg dishes such as Nargesi for brunch and sometimes I like to jazz things up so today we are going to check out my favorite vegetable strata recipe.
But first, what is a strata?
Strata a breakfast or brunch casserole that consists mainly of bread, eggs and cheese. And then you can add vegetables or meat, such as sausage to the strata. I would say it’s like a savory bread pudding.

Notes and tips for this vegetable strata recipe:
- You can make this recipe either right away or prepare it ahead of time and store it in the fridge. If making it ahead of time, make sure to place the dish on the counter as the oven is being heated.
- I used chicken sausage for this recipe, you can easily substitute it with vegetarian sausage or simply leave it out completely.
- Sourdough is great for strata especially if it’s a day old. You can also use sliced bread instead of sourdough.
- The cooking time is between 45 minutes to an hour. If the cheese is melted and golden after 30 minutes, cover loosely with foil and cook for an additional 15 minutes.

Recipe Notes

- If you are planning to serve this vegetable strata later, you can prepare it up to pouring the eggs and covering it with aluminum foil, then place it in the fridge and bake it later. For that, preheat the oven to 350F and as the oven is being heated, place the dish on the counter so it comes to room temperature.
