Making Strata!

(easiest recipe with pictures)

Step One: Choose your bread!

My partner made me a loaf of focaccia (what a gem), which I thought would be perfect! You can use any kind of bread though :)

~

Step Two: Put some bread in an oven safe dish

I tore off two cups of bread and spread it in my dish. You’ll want to oil or butter the dish first. I used olive oil.

~

Step Three: Combine Eggs and Milk

Using a whisk, I mixed one cup of milk with one cup of eggs (~4). I added everything bagel seasoning and garlic salt. Next, you’ll pour the mixture over the bread. Make sure the bread gets nice and soaked.

~

Step Four: Add cheese!

I mixed in one cup of cheese. I used Parmesan and a Mexican blend because that’s all I had! It really doesn’t matter what type of cheese you use!

~

Step Five: Add Extras

Extras typically include meat and veggies. I’m vegetarian so I used four impossible Italian meatballs and a sprinkle of green onions. I would’ve used spinach or peppers, but I didn’t have any :)

~

Step Six: Bake!!

At 350°, bake the strata for 20 minutes. The dish should be covered with aluminum foil. Then, take the dish out, uncover it, and bake for 30 more minutes. I checked on it every 10 minutes to make sure it didn’t over cook. It depends on the depth of your dish, but it’s done when the center isn’t liquid at all.

Ta-da!!

When it comes to measurements and ingredients, you can play around. Though, it’s best to stick to this simple rule:

2 parts bread

1 part milk

1 part eggs

1 part cheese

1 part extras

Happy cooking!

A wee doodle of my favorite mythical creatures 🧜‍♀️

Full version below the cut!!

Romulus and Remus

News alert: this is real and not from animal crossing. It was actually so trippy seeing this in person ♡

In Roman mythology, Romulus and Remus are twin brothers. Their story chronicles the events that led to the founding of the city of Rome and eventually the Roman Kingdom by Romulus, following his fratricide of Remus.

The bottom floor of the National Gallery is so underrated

[buggykitty]

This is the entrance ceiling of the National Gallery of Art.

Did you know that its construct was based on a painting?

Interior of the Pantheon, Rome

Giovanni Paolo Panini c. 1734

This is one of my favorite paintings of all time. When I saw it for the first time in DC, I looked at it for such a long time. There are so many details that draw you in.
