Holiday Breakfast Strata with Sausage (or Not) image

This easy overnight breakfast strata is perfect for holiday mornings. When time is tight and a special breakfast is in order, this fits the bill on both counts. Add sausage for the meat-eaters and for the vegetarians, you can leave it out or substitute veggie sausage. It's delicious either way.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
3/4 cup white button mushrooms
6 eggs
2 cups half and half
1/2 teaspoon salt
Fresh ground pepper
8 slices white bread (crusts removed)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (I use medium)
1/2 pound sausage

Steps:

  • In a medium saute pan, heat the olive oil and saute the onion, green pepper, and mushrooms until soft, about 7-8 minutes. Set aside.
  • If using sausage, brown it in a medium saute pan and drain.
  • If using veggie sausage, heat it in the microwave for a minute or so and crumble.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper.
  • Spray two approximately 4" x 8'' baking pans/casserole dishes with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Layer two slices of the bread in the bottom of each pan.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 of the veggies over the bread in each pan.
  • Spread half the crumbled sausage over the sausage version.
  • Sprinkle on 1/4 of the cheese over each.
  • Pour about 1/2 cup of the egg mixture over the top.
  • Add a layer of the remaining bread, two more slices each, then veggies, then sausage over the sausage side, then cheese.
  • Pour the rest of the egg mixture evenly over the top of each.
  • Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight, or for at least three hours.
  • In the morning, uncover and bake at 325 degrees for about 40 - 50 minutes, until set.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this strata without the sausage. It was still delicious! I added some extra vegetables, such as bell peppers and spinach. The strata was packed with flavor and was a great way to start my day.

This strata is a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a few slices of bread that are about to go stale, so I make this strata and it's always a hit. The bread cubes soak up all the egg mixture and become soft and fluffy.
