Asparagus Swiss Cheese Strata
Ingredients

- 6 slices bread
- 1 6 oz pkg. shredded Swiss cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
- Plunge asparagus in boiling water for 2-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the spears. Drain and rinse immediately with cold water.
- Grease a 13 x 9 casserole dish. Layer 6 slices of bread in the bottom of the dish. Top with Swiss cheese.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and seasonings. Pour into casserole dish. Neatly arrange asparagus spears on top of casserole. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or up to 10 hours.

Notes
It really couldn’t get much easier!
This Easter, it will just be our little family of 6 celebrating Easter at home. I know we’ll be having this dish along with a maple-glazed spiral ham and some hard boiled eggs. I’ll probably make a pasta salad, a fruit salad and some kind of bread or rolls to go along with it. Dessert is still completely up in the air.
I know I’ll be missing my mom’s lamb cake. That is probably my favorite Easter food tradition. What’s your favorite Easter food tradition?
