I’m over the moon to be partnering with Egg Farmers of Canada and sharing with you this simple and delicious way to use eggs this holiday season with a Kale and Stuffing Strata recipe.

What’s a “strata” one may ask? It’s very similar to a bread pudding, but savoury and is usually a mix of bread, eggs and cheese. It’s a classic dish that’s great to have in your recipe repertoire as it’s easily adaptable to suit any ingredients you have on hand. I am a fan of repurposing leftovers and what better way to feed overnight guests than with quality Canadian eggs and holiday leftovers in a scrumptious one dish meal?

Eggs are a staple in our house; the versatility and ease of use makes them very popular with both my husband and I for any meal of the day that we know our whole family will love. For my husband, it’s not the weekend or a holiday unless we’re having eggs for breakfast and I tend to agree. There’s nothing like waking up to smell of eggs cooking and coffee brewing.

My favourite part about eggs is their nutritional value. They’re packed with iron – which you’ve heard me say before is important for the growth in kids, but it’s true!

And kids love eggs, well mine do anyways. My youngest will get visibly upset if she sees anyone chowing down on eggs without her and my other 2 always ask for fried eggs. Let’s not forget about value for dollar and how eggs pack a solid protein punch without breaking the bank.

More time with guests and less time in the kitchen is always a good idea and eggs are a fantastic way to entertain this holiday season with ease. Easy twists on classics (like this one!) ensure you can wow guests with flavour without any stress.

Easy egg-focused breakfast recipes:

Some of my other favourite stress-free egg recipes include these Eggs in Buns and Shakshuka which is probably one of my favourite dishes of all time (truly perfect for any meal of the day).

    That looks like delicious stuffing. I love kale in baked dishes like this, adds great healthy greens and without the sometimes strong taste when you eat it plain. Yum!

    Growing up we called it "dressing" but I think it must be an east coast thing. I love that you added kale to such a great recipe.

      I've heard of stuffing being called "dressing" (as in stuffing cooked outside of the bird), but not bread pudding. I'm a born and raised west coast girl so this is neat to hear.

This 4-Ingredient Green Smoothie gets a bucket loa This 4-Ingredient Green Smoothie gets a bucket load of spinach into our diets before we leave the house for school and work. It's one of my long time smoothies that I make for my kids. 

We've had it a few days in a row now to help us hit reset in the new year. 

The omega oil is optional and I sometimes switch out the banana for a navel orange for a different flavour profile. Oh and if you're an Orange Julius fan, try a 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract - you won't regret it!
