Super Simple Southwestern Strata

This egg and bread casserole is so easy it makes your mom look like a saint. You can easily whip it up with what you have in the house and your resourcefulness will assuredly impress the ladies. Just don't let them know how simple it was or else they will make you cook all the time. In fact, I would fuck it up on purpose or at least complain loudly the whole time you are making it. Let's begin:

Whisk together 1c milk, 3 eggs, and some salt and pepper. Now is the time to add any southwestern themed spices you might want to enjoy (e.g. cumin, chili powder, Old Bay, etc.). "Oh this is so difficult I can't believe you are forcing me to make you breakfast!" Exactly! But try to make it more whinny.

Add a bunch of cheddar, 1 jalapeno, 1/2 a red pepper and combine. At this point you can basically add anything you want. I only used what I did because that is all I had in the fridge but I think the color turned out nicely. Add four slices of your favorite bread, torn into pieces. Turn into a small casserole dish. "Ugh this is taking forever. What a total waste of time." Perfect. Before you know it your lady will never want you to cook again!

Cook at 400 deg for about 25 minutes until nicely browned. Top with salsa, sour cream, more cheese, etc. "Oh my God that was SO hard." Eat it.

You know, I do a whole lot of moaning, groaning, bitching, and whining and am still expected to cook every night. Perhaps I need to just start making sure my meals suck?
