Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 9h20m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 ounces breakfast sausage, casing removed
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 cups half-and-half
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
10 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 12-ounce loaf sourdough bread, crusts removed, cut into 1-inch cubes, preferably stale (about 6 cups)
2 cups shredded Muenster cheese

Steps:

  • Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes; transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until very soft and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often until golden brown, about 6 minutes more. Set aside.
  • Whisk the half-and-half, Parmesan, eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl.
  • Layer half of the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of the Muenster cheese, followed by the sausage-onion mixture. Cover with the remaining bread cubes and pour the half-and-half mixture evenly over top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. (This can also be assembled the day of; just let soak at room temperature 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking.)
  • On the day of baking, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Let the strata sit at room temperature while the oven preheats. Remove the plastic and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Muenster cheese. Bake until slightly puffed and just no longer jiggly in the center, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

I made this strata for a brunch party, and everyone raved about it! The caramelized onions and breakfast sausage added so much flavor, and the strata was so fluffy and moist. I will definitely be making this again.

This strata was a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I should have used less eggs. The flavor was good, but the eggs were a bit too dominant.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable sausage instead of breakfast sausage. The strata still turned out great! The caramelized onions and vegetable sausage were a delicious combination.

I made this strata in a muffin tin instead of a baking dish. It turned out great! The muffins were the perfect size for a quick and easy breakfast or snack.

This strata was a bit too oniony for my taste. I think I should have used less caramelized onions. The flavor was good, but the onions were a bit overpowering.

I added some chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes to this strata, and it was delicious! The spinach added a nice pop of color, and the sun-dried tomatoes added a tangy flavor. I will definitely be making this again with these additions.

I'm not a fan of breakfast sausage, so I used ground turkey instead. The strata still turned out great! The caramelized onions added a delicious sweetness to the dish, and the ground turkey was a nice lean protein.

This strata was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I should have used less butter or cream. The flavor was good, but it was a bit too heavy for me.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning. I added some salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and it improved the flavor a lot.

This strata was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more milk or cream. The flavor was good, but the texture was a bit off.

This strata was easy to make and very delicious. I used a store-bought croissant instead of making my own, and it still turned out great. I also added some chopped bell peppers and mushrooms, and they added a nice touch of flavor.
