About
This recipe was adapted from the TLC recipe, Cheddar and Leek Strata. The original recipe was double this amount and I reduced it by half.
I added salt and pepper to my individual serving, as it tasted a bit bland, but this is an airy, bread-and-egg-based dish with the springtime taste of leeks and bell pepper.
