Description
A savory breakfast casserole featuring biscuits, tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil with a Southern twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, cut into quarters
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn into small pieces
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
- Arrange the quartered biscuits evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Scatter the halved tomatoes and torn mozzarella pieces over the biscuits.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuits and cheese layer.
- Sprinkle the chopped basil and Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- Remove the plastic wrap and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the strata is puffed and the center is set.
- Let the strata rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk in the egg mixture.
- You can prepare the entire dish the day before serving.
- If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover it with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
