How to Make Apple Sausage Raisin Strata

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
  3. Cut 1 loaf (approximately 1 pound) of raisin bread into 1-inch cubes and arrange in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a large skillet, cook 1 pound of sausage (Italian or breakfast sausage) over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
  5. Add 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and diced, to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, or until softened.
  6. Stir in the cooked sausage and 1/2 cup of the pan juices.
  7. Evenly distribute the apple and sausage mixture over the bread in the baking dish.
  8. Top with 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
  9. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese.
  11. Cover the baking dish and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 30 minutes).
  12. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the strata is set and the top is lightly golden brown and the center is cooked through. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  13. Cut into squares and serve warm.
