Caribbean Brunch Strata


Ingredients
6 BAYS® English Muffins, halved, split
1 tablespoon Caribbean jerk seasoning (sweet and spicy)
1 whole boneless, skinless chicken breast* (about 8 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon oil
1/4 cup sliced green onions with tops
3 tablespoons flaked or shredded coconut
4 ounces mild goat cheese, crumbled
6 eggs
3-3/4 cups milk
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon liquid red pepper seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
  Mango Salsa (recipe follows)
*One-half pound peeled, deveined medium shrimp can be substituted for chicken.
   
Preheat oven to 325°F. Arrange half of English muffin pieces on the bottom of a buttered 2-quart glass or porcelain casserole. Sprinkle jerk seasoning on chicken; toss to coat evenly. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until firm, 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon over muffins. Sprinkle with green onions, coconut and goat cheese. Top with remaining muffin pieces. Beat eggs, milk, red pepper seasoning and salt together until blended. Spoon mixture over muffins. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate several hours or overnight. When ready to bake, remove plastic. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, until puffy and brown. If necessary, cover with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning. Serve with Mango Salsa and tossed green salad.
