History and Origin of Asparagus Strata
Asparagus strata is a classic recipe that has become popular in several countries, especially those with European and American gastronomic influence. Its origin dates back to traditional preparations of savory puddings and casseroles that combine fresh ingredients with dairy, ideal for using up bread and other ingredients available at home.
In Latin America, this dish may have different names depending on the region, although it is generally known as "strata" or "savory asparagus pudding." In countries like Mexico or Argentina, it is common to find similar variants in the form of lasagnas or vegetable casseroles, while in other places it may be called names like "timballo" or "savory pudding." Despite these differences, the basic concept of layers of bread, cheese, and vegetables covered with a mixture of egg and milk remains constant, being a nutritious and comforting option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
