MAKE-AHEAD CHEESY SPINACH AND EGG STRATA
If you are a spinach lover, then you will have to try this recipe! I have made this many times to serve at a brunch get together (I always make two of these to serve at a brunch!) Plan ahead this dish needs to chill for a minimum of 8 hours or up to 24 hours or until the custard is absorbed in the bread. You can really use any cheese that you wish I find that either asiago or Gruyere are the best! If you don't want a strong spinach taste then use only one box of frozen spinach. To save time make the spinach/mushroom filling up to 1 day in advance and refrigerate, just warm slightly in the microwave before layering in the strata. You will LOVE this!

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.

BREAKFAST SAUSAGE AND SPINACH STRATA (EMERIL GREEN RECIPE)
I normally hate spinach and absolutely loved this recipe! It's great for a brunch or a special breakfast. Just make it up the night before, stick in the fridge, and you can just pop it in the oven the next morning. It's easy to adjust to recipe and make substitutions if you want to, as well. Note that the prep time includes time that it chills in the fridge.
