A while ago, I found this cool trick for single serve breakfast strata in the microwave! It’s been a go-to strategy ever since – and a really good way to sneak in veggies and use your day old bread at the same time!

Start with small chunks of bread to cover the bottom of your coffee cup. In the middle, layer your additions. Today it’s (raw) kale and cheddar, sometimes it’s a little ham or goat cheese – whatever is handy. Add a little more bread, and your additions to get it to the top of the cup. Whisk one egg, season how you like, and pour over the top. Microwave for 1 minute, 30 seconds.  Voila! For more veggie punch, I added some pickled carrot as a garnish. Enjoy!
