swiss rye strata
why give us the tip about egg yolks being good for our eyes when there are no egg yolks in the recipe?

Yummy!
My husband and I LOVE this recipe!!! I bake it in a 9x9 square pan, or in a glass pie plate. Also, when I make it, I triple the recipe, because that is a full package of the shredded cheese. I put 1/3 into the pan I want to use, and the other 2/3 into 2 tupperware containers and into the freezer. Take it out of the freezer the night before you want to eat it and let it thaw a bit.

I was amazed how well this tasted!! I did not have smoked chicken, so i fried some up in some olive oil and used that. I also just put it in a 2.5 qt. casserole and cooked it that way! wonderful dish... went great with a side of spinach and a glass of gewurztraminer!
