A breakfast strata is a savoury casserole made from layers of bread, eggs, cheese, and various fillings like vegetables or meats. It’s left to soak in an egg mixture and baked until golden. We were inspired by a traditional breakfast strata to create this recipe. Instead of eggs, we used a silken tofu and chickpea flour mixture, which makes the dish perfectly creamy yet firm. It’s perfect for using up leftover bread and makes a cozy weekend brunch.

This was amazing! I made a few slight changes: I swapped spinach for chard, used the entire package of tofu, used stale sourdough, and slightly reduced the cheese. I used mozzarella style but I think cheddar would also be great. I think kale would work well in this too if you didn’t have spinach or chard.

I'll add less cheese next time, but otherwise this was great!

Wow this is really delicious! Works with (not yet stale 🤭) glutenfree bread as well. I added more cherrytomatoes, which makes it more moist.

This has turned out very well! Absolutely delicious and nutritious! I would recommend oiling your pan though, lots of tofu mixture and bread got suck to mine. Will make again!

Solid recipe. We ended up using some left over hamburger buns and day old sourdough slices as base. Didn’t have a 10x8 dish so used a 8x8. Bake time took a little longer, 10-15 mins since it was a little deeper. Added some fresh tomatoes and basil on top to garnish with the black salt. Also used a mix of cheddar and parm instead of mozz. Would make again! Thanks for another tasty breakfast/brunch recipe!
