  • Comments: If calories are a concern, do not be shy about making a few substitutions.
  • Cut back on some of the Monterey Jack cheese, use egg substitute in place of 4 to 6 of the Large eggs, and try low-fat lowfat sour cream at the end.
  • But do not cut out all of the fat, or possibly this yummy casserole will not bake properly and you'll have a gooey mess to serve!
  • Description: "Salami and white wine set this breakfast strata apart from the rest.
  • A creamy layer of lowfat sour cream and Parmesan cheese baked on at the end send it out into orbit!"
