EVOO or vegetable oil
1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo or other spicy bulk sausage
7 to 8 slices (1-inch thick) good-quality stale white or egg-based bread, cut into large cubes
3 roasted green New Mexico chile peppers or 2 poblano or Anaheim peppers, peeled, seeded and chopped, or two 4-ounce cans chopped green chilies, well drained
2 cups whole milk
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, melted and cooled
1 tablespoon hot sauce
6 large organic eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
1 cup sour cream
1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
Juice of 1 lime
Diced ripe heirloom tomato, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a drizzle of EVOO in a skillet. Add the chorizo and cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until browned. Drain off the fat.
  • Arrange the bread in a casserole dish. Top with the chorizo and then the roasted chiles.
  • Whisk together the milk, butter, hot sauce and eggs in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper; pour over the chiles. Top with the cheese. Cover and refrigerate at least overnight and up to 2 days.

I've made this strata several times now and it's always a winner. It's easy to make and always turns out perfectly. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven in the morning.
