Mushroom Bacon Breakfast Strata

Ingredients
10 slices bacon, cut into 12-inch pieces
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
8 eggs, beaten
12 cup half and half
Salt and pepper, to taste (I only added pepper as I felt the chips were salty enough)
4 ounces cream cheese
12 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
10 ounces Stacy’s Simply Naked Pita Chips

Instructions
1. Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium heat just until crispy.  Drain well.  Without cleaning the skillet, add the mushrooms and sauté until soft. 

2. Mix eggs, half-and-half, salt and pepper. 

3. Pour pita chips into a 9x12-inch baking dish and press to flatten and smoosh.  Tear or cut cream cheese into pieces and place over the top of the chips.  Top with mushrooms, bacon, and cheddar cheese.  Pour egg mixture over everything in the baking dish. 

4. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours.  

5. Preheat oven to 325*F and bake for 40 minutes or until eggs are cooked through.  Cut into squares and serve.

I saw this recipe on Pioneer Woman’s blog and my first thought was “What?  Pita Chips?!” followed by “Ooh, that sounds good.”  And it was good.  It would have been even better with a drizzle of maple syrup on the top.  Art and I both greatly enjoyed this.  Make sure you smoosh the chips down so they can all absorb the egg mixture.  I sort of neglected to do that.
