If you do the prep work for this strata the night before, all you need is 1 hour to bake it in the morning. Perfect for weekends, in sum – or heck, any weekday before school if you have early birds like I do!

Ingredients:

• Cooking spray
• 4 Lightlife bacon pieces, chopped
• 1 cup peeled and chopped sweet potato
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup chopped Granny Smith apple
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
• 2 cups cubed whole-grain bread
• 4 Ener-G eggs
• 1 cup oat milk

1. Heat a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add the Lightlife bacon; cook for about 4 minutes, until crisp and browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Recoat the skillet with cooking spray and add the sweet potato and onion; cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the apple, maple syrup, rosemary, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook for a final 2 minutes, then remove from heat and return the bacon to the pan.
3. Arrange 1 and 1/2 cups bread cubes in the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray.  Top with the sweet potato mixture.
4. In a bowl, whisk together the Ener-G eggs, oat milk, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pour over the sweet potato mixture. Top with a final 1/2 cup bread cubes.
5. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, and up to overnight.
6. Bake at 325 degrees F for 50 minutes, uncovered. Let stand a few minutes before serving.

And although we do like this for breakfast, it’s also great as a side at dinner! Try serving with Gardein chick’n and peas.
