A breakfast strata is a savoury casserole made from layers of bread, eggs, cheese, and various fillings like vegetables or meats. It’s left to soak in an egg mixture and baked until golden. We were inspired by a traditional breakfast strata to create this recipe. Instead of eggs, we used a silken tofu and chickpea flour mixture, which makes the dish perfectly creamy yet firm. It’s perfect for using up leftover bread and makes a cozy weekend brunch.

I just don’t like vegan cheese. I’m making this one next week - will it be good without the cheese? Anything should sub in?

Heyy Miranda, totally fair! Vegan cheeses can be hit or miss depending on the brand and personal preference 😊 The cheese mainly adds a bit of creaminess and a classic golden top. You could add a touch more nutritional yeast to the blended mixture, or just leave the cheese out entirely and let the veggies shine. Hope you enjoy it 🫶

For those wondering if you can taste the silken tofu, yes you can.

Heyy Adolfo! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. Silken tofu does have a very mild taste on its own, and while many people don’t notice it once everything is blended, seasoned, and baked, everyone’s taste buds are a little different.
If you ever try the recipe again, adding a touch more kala namak at the end or letting it cool slightly before serving may help the other flavours come through more. We appreciate you giving the recipe a try, and hope you enjoy our other recipes more 🫶

Great recipe! I’ve made it a few times with a few small tweaks. I use the entire package of silken tofu (16oz) and a little less soy milk. You can easily substitute gluten-free bread instead of regular. I personally prefer it with half the amount of vegan cheese, and have even made it with no cheese at all and it still turned out yummy!

This was amazing! I made a few slight changes: I swapped spinach for chard, used the entire package of tofu, used stale sourdough, and slightly reduced the cheese. I used mozzarella style but I think cheddar would also be great. I think kale would work well in this too if you didn’t have spinach or chard.

Wow this is really delicious! Works with (not yet stale 🤭) glutenfree bread as well. I added more cherrytomatoes, which makes it more moist.

This has turned out very well! Absolutely delicious and nutritious! I would recommend oiling your pan though, lots of tofu mixture and bread got suck to mine. Will make again!

Solid recipe. We ended up using some left over hamburger buns and day old sourdough slices as base. Didn’t have a 10x8 dish so used a 8x8. Bake time took a little longer, 10-15 mins since it was a little deeper. Added some fresh tomatoes and basil on top to garnish with the black salt. Also used a mix of cheddar and parm instead of mozz. Would make again! Thanks for another tasty breakfast/brunch recipe!
