Spinach & Cheese Strata with Chesapeake Spice Pretzels
This dish is perfect for a weekend brunch or an easy make-ahead weeknight supper paired with a salad and side of sausage or bacon (for all you meat lovers out there). A traditional strata uses torn bread, but we’ve swapped it for our flavorful seasoned Chesapeake Spice pretzel nuggets. They are so scrumptious, they eliminate the need for additional spices in your strata - saving you time!
