SAUSAGE AND CHEESE STRATA WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
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
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.
