This dish is a favorite of my family. It came to me from my sister, Annette. We have it every Christmas Morning for our brunch and sometimes for dinner. It is a great find if you are looking for a low-carb strata, and best of all, unlike most stratas, you do not have to refrigerate it overnight. It works to split this in half if you do not need to feed a big group.

Ingredients:

• 18 eggs
• 2 cups meat (ham, bacon, or sausage)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups frozen or fresh broccoli
• 2 to 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Grease a 9X13 casserole dish. Brown meat. Beat eggs and blend with sour cream. Layer meat and vegetables in casserole dish, and pour egg mixture over layers. Top with Cheese. Bake at 350 for60 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting. You may want to cover the dish with foil if the cheese begins to get too brown during baking.
