A breakfast strata is a layered casserole dish that typically includes bread, eggs, cheese and other ingredients such as vegetables, meat, or herbs. It is usually prepared the night before and baked in the morning, making it a perfect make-ahead breakfast option for busy mornings or for serving a crowd.
With gluten-free bread and chorizo (always check ingredients to ensure gluten-free), our Gluten-Free Breakfast Strata is easy to prepare. You can substitute smoked salmon for the chorizo if catering for pescatarians or add fried mushrooms (drain excess liquid) for a vegetarian version.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
