This Overnight Breakfast Strata recipe is loaded with sauteed
vegetables, bread, vegan cheese and bacon, all baked in a silky tofu
egg base. Yum!

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and
saute for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Add bell pepper and
mushrooms, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for
another 6 to 8 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and
begin to brown. Add spinach and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring,
until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a blender or food processor, combine silken tofu, nutritional
yeast, chickpea flour, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, black pepper,
and vegan milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Lightly grease a 9x13" (23x33 cm) casserole dish. Spread half the
bread cubes into the dish. Top with half the sauteed vegetables.
Repeat with the remaining bread and vegetables. Pour the tofu mixture
evenly over everything, pressing the bread gently into the liquid to
ensure it's well absorbed. Top with vegan cheese.

Cover the casserole dish tightly and refrigerate overnight (at least 8
hours) to let the bread soak up all the custard and flavors.

In the morning:

Preheat the oven to 375?F (190?C). Let the strata sit at room
temperature for 15 to 20 minute. Cover with foil and bake for 35
minutes. Remove foil, and bake uncovered for another 15 to 20
minutes, until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Sprinkle crumbled vegan bacon over the top. Let cool for 10 to 15
minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve
warm.
