Vegetable cake (Strata): It's absolutely great

In this program… cut off my eyelid.

Paulina brings us a great vegetable recipe today. A vegetable pie (its correct name is Strata) is very easy to make and delicious. I'm sure you'll make it because it's one of those recipes that appeared one day and stayed at our host's house. We also have complaints about neighbors' pets, children interrupting the filming, and a little Rocky Balboa impression.

Why this vegetable cake stole my heart

This is Paulina, everyone.

Let me tell you a little about this recipe. I originally saw it on a channel I follow ( PBS Food ), but it was made with different ingredients. More than anything, I wanted to show you how to make it so you can vary the ingredients however you like. It's really simple!

Here are some reasons why I think making vegetable strata is absolutely brilliant:

• This vegetable cake allows you to use up bread that's been around for a few days.

• Although strata isn't a new recipe, I think it's a novel way to vary our typical pies a bit. The concept is the same: flour, vegetables, eggs, but prepared in a different way.

• I think this vegetable pie is THE recipe for when you have four or five things in the fridge and don't know how to put them together. I think I've discovered my end-of-the-month recipe.

• Vegetable strata can be used as a main course or as a side dish, something that tarts don't offer.

• The possibilities for variations on this vegetable pie are endless. So many that it could stop being a vegetable pie and become, for example, a chicken and broccoli pie. I'm getting ready.

• This vegetable pie can be called Strata, a name with a very chic character that should be becoming fashionable in a few months. 

Enjoy it! 

Vegetable strata recipe

Ingredients

look how few

• 1 tied of spinach
• 4-5 dried tomatoes
• 1 onion
• 3 eggs
• 3 loaves of bread
• Grated cheese (qty. needed)
• Oil, salt and pepper

Step-by-step vegetable strata recipe

easier, impossible

1. Chop everything: the onion, spinach, and soaked sun-dried tomatoes. Set aside.
2. In a pot, add a splash of oil and sauté the onion until it is almost transparent.
3. At this point, add the spinach. It may seem like a lot, but it isn't, as it will shrink considerably upon contact with the heat. We'll keep it on the heat for a very short time, about a minute.
4. As soon as the spinach changes color and glows, add the chopped sundried tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Stir a few times and remove from heat. Set aside until lukewarm.
5. Meanwhile, cut the bread into pieces roughly 2x2 or however large you like.
6. Beat the eggs with salt and pepper until foamy. 
7. Add the warm vegetables to the eggs, stir, and add the bread. Mix well.
8. Add the grated cheese, as much as you like. Mix well. I recommend not leaving it in the egg for too long so the bread doesn't absorb too much liquid.
9. In a baking dish, place the vegetable mixture, bread, and egg. There's no need to grease the dish. Don't mash the vegetable mixture; let it sit just as it falls.
10. Sprinkle with a little more grated cheese and bake until golden brown on top.

This is how the vegetable cake (strata) looks like

I have a thousand ideas to vary it
