Description

This strata recipe is made with layers of cubed bread, pork sausage, and Cheddar cheese baked in creamy egg custard for a yummy breakfast casserole.

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 pound pork sausage
6 (1 ounce) slices bread, cubed
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 cups milk
6 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground dry mustard

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Lightly grease a 7x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
3 Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain.
4 Layer bread cubes, cooked sausage, and cheese in the prepared baking dish. Beat together milk, eggs, salt, and mustard in a medium bowl. Pour over bread mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). While the oven is heating, let casserole sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before baking.
6 Bake casserole in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Let casserole stand for 10 minutes before serving.
7 Enjoy!
