SAUSAGE AND CHEESE STRATA WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



Sausage and Cheese Strata with Sun-dried Tomatoes image

An incredible alternative to Lasagna. You will not believe how light and puffy it bakes up. Never any thrown away. Actually better the next day in my opinion as the ingredients blend. Instead of crustless white bread I usually use Italian bread just broken into small pieces. I believe I obtained this recipe from Bon Apetit a few years ago.

HAM AND CHEESE STRATA



Ham and Cheese Strata image

This recipe comes from Food & Wine magazine (1997). The recipe is credited to Diana Sturgis. I don't usually add the sun dried tomatoes, but I included them since they were in the original recipe. We usually have this for dinner, but it could be a great brunch recipe as well. The left overs are fantastic served cold. This is a delicious use of left-over ham.

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not oil packed), chopped
12 ounces hot Italian sausage, casing removed
3 1/2 cups milk (do not use low-fat or nonfat)
8 large eggs
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or 3/4 teaspoon dried

1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1 cup (packed) grated mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup crumbled soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet)
Chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place sun-dried tomatoes in medium bowl. Pour enough boiling water over to cover. Let stand until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain.
  • Sauté sausages in heavy medium skillet over medium heat until cooked through, breaking up with back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to paper towels and drain well.
  • Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Whisk milk, eggs, thyme, salt and pepper in large bowl to blend. Add sun-dried tomatoes, sausage, bread, onion and Parmesan cheese and stir to blend. Transfer to prepared dish. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

Tips:

  • Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes. This will help it absorb the egg mixture evenly.
  • Whisk the eggs and milk together until well blended. This will help prevent the strata from becoming curdled.
  • Season the egg mixture with salt, pepper, and other desired spices. This will add flavor to the strata.
  • Layer the bread, cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes in a greased baking dish. This will create a beautiful and flavorful dish.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the bread, cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. This will help bind the ingredients together.
  • Bake the strata in a preheated oven until golden brown and set. This will take about 30-45 minutes.
  • Let the strata cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it hold its shape.
