Serve the ultimate holiday brunch with this no-fuss and simple recipe for overnight smoked cheddar, bacon and mushroom strata.
The holidays are an insanely busy time of year, but they are also a magical time to celebrate and be surrounded by friends and family. I'm really excited to be partnering with Egg Farmers of Canada and their network dedicated to all things egg called EggcentricTV this holiday season to showcase 'Recipes That Give' in partnership with Food Banks of Canada.
This smoked cheddar, bacon and mushroom breakfast strata is the perfect recipe to share with your loved ones this holiday season. Giving homemade food to my friends and family is my favourite way to say 'Thank you' and to show them how much I appreciate and care for them and everything they do for me. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by such an incredible support system who are always here to lend a hand when I need help, and offer their words of advice and encouragement.
This strata recipe has been making its way around to all of my people, both in the warm, fresh-from-the-oven form and in the straight-from-the-fridge with detailed baking instructions form because you can prep this breakfast strata the night before and either bake it off in the morning or drop it off with printed cooking instructions. It begins with eggs and bacon, like all delicious breakfast recipes do and gets elevated by the simple addition of high-quality smoked cheddar cheese.
I'm also excited to be back with a new video showing you just how easy it is to make this recipe yourself. The final recipe and the full-length video is featured on EggcentricTV, simply download the free EggcentricTV app (available on App Store and Google Play) or on Roku and go to the Holiday #RecipesThatGive channel and enjoy!

Hey Louisa. I’m making your sponsored post for boxing day brunch and realized we don’t have half and half in Nova Scotia. What milk fat percentage is it? I looked it up and it said between 10-18 but that’s quite a variance
Lou
Hi Angelina, I’ll answer this question here as well in case someone else has the same question, for half and half, it’s 10% milk fat. I hope you enjoyed it!
Rita Helpert
Looks delicious …will try soon.
