Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not oil packed), chopped
12 ounces hot Italian sausage, casing removed
3 1/2 cups milk (do not use low-fat or nonfat)
8 large eggs
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or 3/4 teaspoon dried
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
11 slices white sandwich bread (about 1 pound), crusts trimmed, bread cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1 cup (packed) grated mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup crumbled soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet)
Chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place sun-dried tomatoes in medium bowl. Pour enough boiling water over to cover. Let stand until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain.
  • Sauté sausages in heavy medium skillet over medium heat until cooked through, breaking up with back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to paper towels and drain well.
  • Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Whisk milk, eggs, thyme, salt and pepper in large bowl to blend. Add sun-dried tomatoes, sausage, bread, onion and Parmesan cheese and stir to blend. Transfer to prepared dish. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

This strata was very easy to make, but it was a little bland. I would add more salt and pepper next time.

This strata was a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk next time.

I'm not a big fan of sun-dried tomatoes, but I still really enjoyed this strata. The flavors were well-balanced and the strata was very moist.
