How to Make Sausage And Cheese Breakfast Strata
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Cook 1 lb sausage (Italian sausage recommended) in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease and let cool completely.
- Cook 4 slices bacon until crispy. Crumble and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 ½ cups milk, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 6 cups cubed bread (day-old bread works best), 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, and the cooled sausage to the egg mixture. Gently stir to combine.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the top.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and set. The strata will puff up significantly.
- Let the strata rest for 20-25 minutes before serving. This allows it to settle and makes slicing easier.
