Sausage and Cheese Strata:
This hearty breakfast strata is a delicious blend of savory sausage, creamy cheese, and tender bread, making it a perfect way to start the day. It’s a comforting dish that will satisfy any appetite, offering a balance of flavors and textures.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
– 1 pound (450g) breakfast sausage links
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1 large onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 8 slices of bread (preferably slightly stale, such as sourdough or brioche)
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup milk
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cook the sausage links in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside, slicing them into rounds.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
Arrange four slices of bread in the greased baking dish, slightly overlapping. Spread half of the cooked sausage rounds on top of the bread, followed by half of the shredded cheese. Repeat with remaining bread slices, sausage, and cheese.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the strata.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
Let the strata rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve this delicious Sausage and Cheese Strata warm, and enjoy a flavorful breakfast or brunch!
