Artichoke & Goat Cheese Strata

The title of this post may have you thinking, “Oh god, Jenny is about to rant about how much she loves artichokes and goat cheese again.” Lucky for you, I think I have established that. Instead I am going to talk about casseroles/stratas/any other dish you can cook in one pot/casserole dish. There is something that eases my mind when I am able to make an entire meal without having to wash tons of pots, pans and skillets afterwards. If you don’t make one-pot-meals very often, you really should give it a try; there is something therapeutic and relaxing about its simplicity.

This dish is a strata, which is a layered casserole, usually with egg soaked bread. It is a great one-pot breakfast recipe. I think that the ingredients in this particular strata make is great for any time, not just breakfast. As always the artichoke and goat cheese make an excellent pair. The bread also adds a nice texture to an otherwise soft dish. So sit-back, relax and cook up a fancy breakfast without filling your sink with dishes.
