Broccoli Blue Cheese Strata

Breakfast Casserole - Breakfast and Brunch

A hearty vegetarian breakfast or brunch casserole. I made it up in a pinch during a brunch party, and it was the only dish that was finished! I like to use a dense buttermilk bread for this recipe, and a thick blue cheese dressing.
