Slow Cooker Cheesy Bacon Strata

Slow Cooker Cheesy Bacon Strata

One of my very favorite meals is breakfast. Okay, fine you caught me. I do like every meal, but there is something extra delish about breakfast. Which, by the way I'd gladly eat for lunch or dinner! Throw a good slow cooker recipe that's made for a crowd and I'm all in.  This is a sponsored post by Lunchbox about holiday recipes, all opinions are my own.

Oh yeah baby. This is the answer to breakfast. Perfect for company!

Matter of fact, I LOVE waking up on Christmas morning to a hot delicious breakfast that's ready to eat. That delicious scent of breakfast luring me out of bed knowing that an amazing day is just awaiting me? Someone get the coffee brewing, cuz' it's gift time! 😉 I jumped a little too far in the future, but it's clear I'm excited. 

Oh yeah baby. This is the answer to breakfast. Perfect for company!

I've made slow cooker breakfasts before but this was the first time I've done a Strata. Essentially that means it has bread in it. Toasted French bread cubes to be exact. It's SO good. This recipe among many others is from the Kraft recipe hub over at Walmart.com.

Are you ready to plan your future breakfast? This recipe is courtesy of Kraft and Walmart.

Foil is recommended as a liner in your slow cooker, I used a slow cooker liner instead and it worked awesome.

Slow Cooker Cheesy Bacon Strata

Easy slow cooker recipe for bacon and cheese Strata

Ingredients

  • 10 eggs
  • 2-½ cups milk
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • 1 pkg. (8 oz.) Shredded Cheddar Cheese, divided
  • 16 slices French bread (¾ inch thick), toasted, cubed
  • 10 slices cooked Bacon, crumbled
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • Non-Stick Spray
  • Recommended: Slow Cooker Liner

Instructions

  1. WHISK eggs, milk and pepper in large bowl until blended. Reserve ½ cup cheese. Add remaining cheese to egg mixture with all remaining ingredients; mix well.
  2. ADD slow cooker liner and spray inside of slow cooker with cooking spray. Add egg mixture. If necessary, press toast cubes into egg mixture with back of spoon to completely moisten toast cubes.
  3. COOK on LOW 4 hours, sprinkling with reserved cheese for the last 15 min. Cool slightly. Use foil handles to transfer strata from slow cooker to platter; discard liner.
Once it's done cooking, it's ready to go. How easy!? I just pulled out my liner and gently removed the strata. Instant hit and I'll be doing it all over again next week. Can't wait!

Oh yeah baby. This is the answer to breakfast. Perfect for company!

Could sour dough be used instead of French bread?

This is probably a stupid question but how do you wake up to the strata when it only cooks for four hours? Do you get up for 4 hours before you’re going to eat and start it?

Thank you
