Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onions, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with butter. Layer the cubed French loaf at the bottom of the dish.
  4. Distribute the sautéed mushrooms, onions, and chopped asparagus evenly over the cubed bread.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  6. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the entire baking dish, ensuring it seeps through the bread and vegetables. Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top.
  7. For optimal flavor, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  8. Bake the Mushroom and Asparagus Strata for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
