Put this together last night for today's breakfast. It went together quickly and was very delicous. A keeper for me.

Donna-I have to agree, the Breakfast Tortilla Strata is excellent! It is easy to prepare and tastes great. I have made the CL Overnight Artichoke and Ham Strata as well and it has always been a hit with my family.

Donna here is the recipe:
Overnight Artichoke and Ham Strata
yield:6 servings
3 English muffins, split and quartered
1 T. butter or stick margarine, melted
1 cup chopped lean ham (about 4 oz.)
1/2 cup (2 oz.) grated fresh Parmesan cheese

1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated fat-free milk
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
3 large eggs
3 large egg whites

Arrange muffin pieces, crust sides down, in an 8 inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray; drizzle with butter. Arrange ham and next 4 ingredients (ham through garlic)over muffin pieces. Combine nutmeg and remaining ingredients in a bowl; stir well with a wisk. Pour over muffin mixture. Cover, chill 8 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Uncover strata, bake for 50 minutes or until set. Remove from oven, and let stand for 10 minutes.

Yea! I'm so glad to hear this is good. The recipe looked terrific. I'm going to put it together tonight for breakfast tomorrow. If I'm feeling especially industrious, I may make the Strawberry-Cream Cheese Muffins as well.

We had the leftovers today and they were just as good.

Can someone post the overnight artichoke and ham strata recipe? I did a search for "strata" and could not find it. Thanks.

I made the overnight artichoke and ham strata for breakfast this morning and it's a keeper. Thanks for posting.

My husband and I though this was quite good. If I were making it for friends (most of my friends don't bother to cook low-fat or vegetarian) - I'd probably up the cheese and add some chicken. The sour cream really gives it a comfort-food quality.

Has anyone made the Breakfast Tortilla Strata and substituted flour tortillas for the corn ones? I'm not real fond of the corn tortillas but the recipe sounds so good I might make it anyway.
Thanks,
Elizabeth
