Bacon-Egg-and-Cheese Strata and Why You Should Make Some Outdoor Upgrades to Your Home This Spring
Today we’re whipping up this delicious overnight bacon-egg-and-cheese strata and talking about why you should make some outdoor upgrades to your home this spring. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
1 Italian loaf chopped into 1 inch cubes, about 7 cups
1 lb bacon , cooked and chopped
2 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded
8 eggs
2 cups milk or half and half
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 tablespoon chives diced
Here’s How to Do It:
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or foil.
2. Spread the bread cubes out in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for about 5-10 minutes, until dried out.
3. Spray a 3 quart baking dish with non stick spray.
4. Add the dried bread cubes, crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, and chives. Carefully stir to combine and mix up.
5. In a large measuring cup add the 8 eggs. Then add milk or cream to equal out 4 cups of liquid. Will come to about 2 cups of eggs and 2 cups of milk. Mix together.
6. Stir in the salt and pepper to the egg mixture.
7. Pour the egg mixture over the bread mixture. Press down the bread to soak in the egg.
8. Cover with foil and let sit overnight in the fridge.
9. In the morning before baking, preheat oven to 350. Bake covered for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake another 20-30 minutes. Serve warm.

Why You Should Make Some Outdoor Upgrades to Your Home This Spring
As a realtor I get asked questions all the time such as, “Should I redo my patio?” “Should I add an outdoor kitchen?” and the answer is always “yes”.
Here’s why: anytime that you can increase your outdoor living space you will see a return on your investment. You’ll be surprised by how much even small upgrades, like replacing your mailbox or your house numbers, can improve your home’s curb appeal and increase its value.
Even if you aren't planning on selling your house anytime soon, its always a good idea to keep your house on trend with some outdoor upgrades.
