Asparagus and Mushroom Strata

I’m currently in Hawaii enjoying the beautiful weather and the gorgeous nature here. For those of you deep in snow I promise that spring is coming soon. Whenever I think about spring I think about fresh asparagus. I wanted to make a dish for brunch that was hearty enough to fill you up but had pops of color and vegetables throughout.

I used English Muffins for this dish. They have the best texture and the little nooks and crannies are so ideal for a strata because they soak up the egg mixture. You’ll love this strata filled with cheese and vegetables.
