Cheese Blintz Casserole

This is Mama Miche, and today in my magic kitchen: Cheese Blintz Casserole 

I was introduced to this masterpiece by my friend Wendy. We met in Memphis when our tiddlypeeps went to the same preschool. She's a doll, a living doll. And she doesn't gatekeep! Many years ago, when we both still lived in Memphis, she invited my family to her family's Yom Kippur Break Fast and served a lot of great food. This blintz casserole? I had never had it before! This dish is magnificent and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or brinner! It's one of those easy-to-make meals that will have everyone at the table asking you for the recipe. Tell them!

Erik E. Strata

This is Mama Miche, and today in my magic kitchen: Erik "Estrata"

When my mother-in-law was still alive, she made this for Christmas Day breakfast for as long as I knew her. For some reason, I wrongly assumed that this was what my hubster ate on Christmas Day as a child, but the asparagus strata became a staple just a few years before I came into the picture.

Also, for some reason only my husband understands, he calls it Erik Estrata. It's delicious, so he can call it whatever the fuck he wants, and I'm happy to make it every year for our Christmas Day breakfast. It is also good for any large family gathering. You make it the night before, refrigerate it overnight, and put it in the oven in the morning. It cooks for a little over an hour. And it has all the major food groups.
