The recipes in our series “Homemade Gourmet” take the thought and time out of cooking without sacrificing their flavor or gourmet appeal. This Mushroom, Bacon, and English Muffin Strata recipe by Kellie Hemmerly of The Suburban Soapbox will take any brunch from boring to luxurious with just one bite.
Baked egg dishes are the perfect option when you want to bake ahead of time for brunch. This simple Mushroom, Bacon, and English Muffin Strata comes together easily with the inclusion of Wolferman’s Signature English Muffins. Replacing the traditional white bread I typically use in my strata recipe, the English muffins add a surprising and pleasant texture to the dish. Like a savory bread pudding, you will want these to grace your brunch table every single Sunday.
