This was the first proper meal I made for DH when he came out of hosptial.....he asked for light comfort food, and this was just the thing! I made a few subs - I cut back on the cheese, as he is not allowed too much fat, and I also used low fat creme fraiche instead of light sour cream. The results were a delicious souffle type of pastry-less quiche - DH wolfed it down and had seconds! A wonderful, but LIGHT Strata recipe - I also used very low fat (my own home-made) sausages with a 94% meat content. As you can see by the photos, it looked pretty and I can assure you, it tasted divine - like an all day breakfast, but without all the hassle and the fat! Recommended and saved in my cookbook! Thanks Caro - a wonderful recipe. FT:-)Reply
