Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb day-old Italian bread
1 lb bulk sausage
1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups milk
6 eggs
1/3 cup sour cream
salt
black pepper
1/2 lb cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
2 scallions, diced (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F degrees. Cut loaf of bread into 1 inch slices, then roughly tear into large pieces (around 3 inches). Place on baking sheet and toast in oven for 10 minutes tossing once. (You may skip this step if using day old bread, as long as it's fairly dry.).
  • Heat large skillet over medium high heat, crumble loose sausage into pan and cook until no longer pink (about 7-9 minutes). Remove sausage from skillet and place in bowl large enough to accommodate sausage and bread.
  • Pour off and discard all but 1 tablespoon of fat from skillet and add onion. Cook over medium low heat until soft and brown, 5-7 minutes. Add onion and torn bread to sausage and toss. Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and toss again.
  • Butter a 9 x 13 x 2 inch Pyrex baking dish. Beat eggs well then beat in milk and sour cream til smooth; season with salt and pepper.
  • Place sausage/bread/onion/cheese mixture into buttered dish and pour milk/egg mixture over, pressing down on the bread with a spatula to insure that the egg begins to soak up the liquid. Sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese and scallion (if using), cover and place in fridge overnight.
  • The following morning (or early afternoon) preheat oven to 350°F Bake until browned and puffy, about 45-50 minutes. Serve hot with a Bloody Mary. Pass sour cream, hot sauce in general (sriracha specifically), ketchup, salsa, or sliced avocados; if you have the energy, top each serving with a runny fried egg.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your strata a more complex flavor. Use a combination of hard and soft cheeses, and try to include a cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella or cheddar. A good option is to use a pre-packaged shredded cheese blend.
  • Don't overcook the strata. The strata should be cooked until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted, but it should not be dry. Overcooked strata will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the strata immediately. The strata is best served warm, right out of the oven. You can also make the strata ahead of time and reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.
  • Garnish the strata with fresh herbs or vegetables. This will add a pop of color and flavor. Good options include chives, parsley, tomatoes, or bell peppers.

Conclusion:

Cheese n' Sausage Strata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a special occasion or a simple weekend meal. With its simple ingredients and quick preparation time, this strata is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
