How to Make Stress Free Strata
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink (about 4-5 minutes).
- Add chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove sausage and vegetable mixture from skillet and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until small bubbles appear around the edges.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, then gradually whisk in the hot milk. Stir in Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Lightly butter an 8x11 1/2-inch glass baking dish.
- Arrange half of the bread slices in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, trimming to fit as needed.
- Sprinkle with 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Top with the sausage and vegetable mixture.
- Arrange the remaining bread slices on top of the sausage mixture, trimming as needed.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and sausage.
- Gently press down on the bread to submerge it in the egg mixture.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of cheese over the top.
- Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the strata stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
