Dark Days Week 10

In my second attempt, I finally made the strata.

Delicious!

I will definitely be making this again. I used the basic recipe from Brittney’s post but modified it a bit to fit what we had around.

I baked the bread in our handy bread maker, using flour from Fairhaven and the lovely butter from Bow.

For the rest of the ingredients, I used leeks from Washington (Skagit County, I believe), eggs from Monroe, milk butter and cheese from Bow and sausage from Eastern Washington. The sausage was the farthest traveled food, but I was glad we had it. The flavor was great, and it went really well with the strata. I also had a chance to talk with the woman who was selling the sausage, and she had nice things to say about how it was made and the animals raised. Sadly, I forgot to write down the name of the farm, but I’ll be looking for them again the next time I’m at the UW farmers’ market.
