The recipe Bananas Foster Breakfast Strat It is a good option if you're following a vegetarian diet.
Instructions
To prepare strata, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 1 tablespoon oil and butter to pan; swirl until foamy. Stir in bananas; saut 1 minute. Carefully add half of rum; cook rum until flames subside.
Add remaining rum, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook 3 minutes or until bananas are soft. Spoon the banana mixture into a large bowl, and press bananas with a pastry blender or fork until chunky.
Combine half-and-half, granulated sugar, eggs, and evaporated milk in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk.
Add banana mixture and bread cubes, tossing well to coat.
Place bread mixture in a 13 x 9-inch metal baking pan coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
To prepare streusel, weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife.
Combine flour, walnuts, and next 3 ingredients (through 1/8 teaspoon salt), stirring well with a whisk. Stir in 1 tablespoon oil.
Remove strata from oven; sprinkle evenly with streusel.
Bake an additional 30 minutes or until golden and set.

Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc
Albarino, rosé Wine, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Cajun. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. One wine you could try is D'Alfonso-Curran Albarino. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.
