Walking through the store the other day, I came across a loaf of day (or two)-old Iggy's bread for $1. After hearing Dawn sing its praise, I knew this loaf was destined for a strata and quickly put it into my basket :) I perused some of my bookmarked strata recipes, and picked this Tomato Goat Cheese Strata as I also had a chunk of goat cheese that REALLY needed to be used!
I followed the recipe, using Whole Wheat Sourdough and a can of Fire-Roasted Whole tomatoes that I just broke apart in the pan. I added 1T of Daregal fresh frozen Italian blend to the tomato mixture (my tomatoes didn't have any spices, I also left out the sage), and ended up baking it in a 9"square pan. It was stuffed to the brim, and I may have had to sneak a few chunks of bread to make it all fit :)
While the recipe supposedly made 4 servings with an 8oz loaf of bread (which I thought mine was), it looked immense! I cut it into 6 servings and enjoyed it for breakfast all week long with a green smoothie. A great way to start the day!!
One more thing, remember that Italian Grilled cheese I posted about using Daregal Fresh Frozen Herbs (which I did see at my Shaws!!!)? Go RATE my recipe in their contest if you can spare a click :) This was so good, it blew my mind!

OMG...that strata looks FABULOUS!!!
I guess after that exiting event of triathlon yesterday, having a slice of this strata would be a perfect idea!
LOVE goat cheese! :-)
Wow this looks SOOOO good. I bet it'd be just amazing on a chilly day!
What a delicious strata with tomatoes and goat cheese! Perfect for a brunch!
Iggy's is the BEST!
Well thanks a lot, I am now offically starving :)
Yum yum yum. I hope you allow yourself extra portions considering you triathlon.
Oh, how I envy you your bread options in Boston. That is the biggest problem living in a smaller town. It has forced me to bake more bread, but it would still be nice to be able to pick up a loaf. Whole wheat sourdough sounds heavenly.
I love a good strata and that looks delicious. I think I have some Iggy's bread at home right now although I had no idea it was getting so many rave reviews.
Finally you tried it! Have you ever seen their bread making factory? It truly is a work of art, very modern bakery and so very CLEAN!
Iggy's bread is like no other. Paris breads runa close second.
Thanks for the shoutout Momma!!
The strata looks like heaven... What a great breakfast- it'd certainly get me out of bed.
I love the idea of this savoring cheesiness for breakfast. I would totally have been sneaking the bread as well. Bread is my weakness. Especially sourdough. But that's another story for another day...
Oh my goodness, that looks AMAZING!
Oooh that looks so good! I have bread to use up, but no eggs. :(
That is one good lookin strata!
i've never made strata - this looks phenomenal!
Oh wow, what a breakfast! Makes my bowl of cereal look very sad. I (of course!) especially love all the goat cheese in there :) I'll have to check out Iggy's bread too.
This strata looks just delicious...I love the brownish on top of it...can almost taste it. Great pictures. By the way thank you for visiting my site.
This looks wonderful!! And I voted for you five stars! Good luck!
Just voted for you!
I don't know what a strata is, but it looks like I have to try it!!
Awesome colors, it's like an all season type of bread. Talk about a perfect carb up for a race :)
How's you being almost all grown up too? Are you still learning along with your lab work?
Looks so inviting! Can't wait to dig in!
It looks and sounds WONDERFUL.
wow! that looks truly amazing!!
You made a strata like that and you didn't invite me over for breakfast (or dinner, or lunch, or brunch, or linner)? I'm not sure we can be blog friends any more ;-)
Nice work, my dear! It sounds like this dish is a good keeper if you were able to eat it happily all week. I might try making a small batch of it in an 8x4 pan. I do love my strata!
You had me at goat cheese - that looks to-die-for.
the strata looks fabulous! and i looove goat cheese
Holey Moley, that looks perfect. You're hired. :)
wow this looks amazing!
I've never had a strata before. This one looks great!
That looks so good! I wish I could eat a piece through the screen. :-)
That strata looks so tasty! I could go for that for brunch this morning.
