What a wonderful surprise when you cut this breakfast strata and find asparagus inside. Delicately flavored, this breakfast casserole is very satisfying. The English muffins are crunchy and buttery. Gruyere cheese adds a touch of nuttiness. This would make an awesome addition to a breakfast or luncheon.
