Muffaletta Strata
This combines a favorite Muffaletta sandwich and a popular breakfast/brunch egg dish into something special. It's a favorite because it combines the heartiness of a sandwich with the satisfaction of a baked egg dish. This Strata is good served any time of the year. It is quick to prepare and it can be combined the night before and baked before serving the next day. I love Eggland's Best eggs because they have cleaner taste and vivid color, making a difference in any way they are cooked.
