How to Make Green Chili And Chorizo Breakfast Strata

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the crumbled chorizo, green chilies, and cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, ensuring all pieces are moistened. Gently press down to submerge the bread.
  6. If desired, add chopped jalapeños for extra heat.
  7. Cover the baking dish with foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight.
  8. Bake the strata, covered, for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
