Make Smoked Cheesy Kale and Mushroom Strata

Every year, on Christmas morning, I make this Ice Cream French Toast, which was posted last year. Some of you made it with great success! I have to say that nothing makes me happier.

This year I wanted to do something savory; something that would offset the abundance amount of sweet things youve most likely have been consuming.

This strata houses some of my favorites: smoked cheese, wilted kale, and an array of mushrooms like chantrelles, cremini and oysters. I found these mushrooms at my local grocery store but if youre having trouble finding these exact ones, button mushrooms will be just fine, too!

Stratas are pretty perfect for large groups. Theyre easy to prep and really require very little time to throw together. This one in particular is a good balance of warm and comforting yet still not overly rich. The kale is a good addition; it sneaks in a little green when we need it most.

Happy Holidays! Wishing you and your family a beautiful one.
