I was going to make a Strata one night for dinner and realized that I didn't make it and let it set in the fridge over night. So then I decided I was going to make a Quiche. Well unfortunately I had already mixed alot of the Strata ingredients and was not in the mood to make a crust. So I just sort of combined the two recipes and made what I now call "Quicheta". My family fell in love with this recipe and it's become one of our favorites. It's easily made and doesn't have to sit in the fridge over night. It makes for a great leftover snack or meal, but mine never lasts very long.
