Delicious! I chose to try this out this year for a Mother's Day brunch with my mother in law. It turned out wonderfully and everyone said it was great! I didn't have any Crimini mushrooms so I used sliced white button mushrooms, and added some sausage. My mother in law is allergic to peppers, so I omitted those and they weren't missed at all. I also used Kraft Tex Mex cheese mix and substituted the dry mustard for yellow mustard (I tripled the amount as per google directions). As per a review I added 2 extra eggs. Yum! Will definitely make this again!

I did not care for the taste of the english muffins as a base - but did like the soufle

I made this for an Easter brunch and it was excellent. As most people do, I made several changes. I omitted the mushrooms, sauteed the red pepper & onion in butter, and I very quickly stuck the asparagus in boiling water - maybe 2 minutes, although I'm not sure if it's necessary to do. I used mozzarella and parmesan cheese (about 2/3 cup mozzarella and 1/3 cup parmesan), and I made 2 in different sized pans (a 6x6 and an oval pan that's maybe 10-11"), so I added 2 extra eggs and 1/2 cup milk. It took nearly an hour to bake both, but it was delicious and everyone raved about it.

My husband who doesn't like "baked egg dishes" loved this and so did the whole family. We made our own changes using 1- 10X15 w/ 6 E. Muffins, and 1-8x8 w/ Gluten Free toasted Bread. Changes; 3/4 c bell pepper, asparagus was quick sauteed w/sherry until liquid was gone, 10 eggs, half & half instead of milk, 1 lb. herb sausage browned, drained, and twice as much organic, raw cheese. (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Swiss). Everything else was the same, but all organic. Not too eggy, great mix, and very nice not to have to rush around this Easter morning after church. Thanks Shandeen for sharing your Mom's 5 star recipe!

I LOVED this! It was delicious! My husband and I are trying to go vegetarian and since I don't have a lot of vegetarian recipes, I served this for dinner. It was great as a dinner entree. And, it's so flavorful that I didn't miss having meat at all.

This was good! I did not toast the muffins first, and used steamed broccoli in place of the asparagus. I also added some cooked, chopped ham. Tasty!

This recipe was a hit at my family get-together. I was asked for the recipe and the entire 9 x 13" casserole was devoured in 1 sitting, with several of us wishing there was more! I followed the suggestion of sauteeing the veggies in advance. I used only medium cheddar. I also added 1 tsp of sriracha hot sauce. I was also forced to use bagels rather than english muffins, and it turned out fine! I will definitely be making this again!

My family loved this on Christmas morning. followed the directions exactly except I used shitake mushrooms bc I couldn't find crimini and i substituted broccoli and zucchini in place of the asparagus since I thought asparagus would be to "springy" for Christmas morning. loved the english muffins, not soggy like bread. will TOTALLY make again!

This was the first time I have ever made a strata. I had searched all over the site and liked the idea of the english muffin instead of the traditional cubed day old bread. I followed the recipe exactly with exception of subbing out the asparagus for ground turkey sausage (see grandpa's coriander turkey sausage on the site- you will not be disappointed.) It was so delicious and a perfect make ahead meal when you don't want to take the time to prep in the AM but want a nice meal. You can easily change this to suit your tastes and the english muffin was a great choice. Definitely making tghis again when we have company!
