EASY SAUSAGE STRATA
This strata is really easy to make. Put it together the day before, then just remove from the refrigerator and bake. Ham or bacon can be substituted for the sausage. Sometimes I add cooked chopped broccoli for a change of pace.

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.

This has been our Christmas breakfast since I was a child. I look forward to it every year. You can really change it up and add any type of meat, cheese, or veggies you like. This can easily be a vegetation dish also. This dish is wonderful for lunch if you add chicken, asparagus and Swiss cheese. But, the breakfast strata brings back so many great memories, you just can't beat it!!
