Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h50m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 11

Unsalted butter, at room temperature, for the baking dish
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
2 red bell peppers, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups half-and-half
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
10 large eggs
One 12-ounce loaf rustic Italian bread, preferably stale, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 6 cups)
2 cups shredded mozzarella

Steps:

  • Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes; transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the bell peppers to the skillet with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the half-and-half, Parmesan, parsley, eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Layer half of the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella, followed by the sausage and peppers. Cover with the remaining bread cubes and pour the custard evenly over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let soak at room temperature 30 minutes to 1 hour. (To make ahead, after adding the custard, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight and then let the strata sit at room temperature while the oven preheats.)
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Remove the plastic and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella. Bake until slightly puffed and no longer jiggly in the center, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Butter, for the baking dish
12 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds cornbread (store-bought or homemade), cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch cubes and dried overnight (about 8 heaping cups)
1 tablespoon canola oil
8 ounces fresh chorizo or turkey sausage, casings removed
1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 poblano chile, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, plus whole leaves for garnish
1 cup grated sharp white Cheddar
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
4 ounces goat cheese, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese
Creamy Spicy Tomato Sauce:
2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
1 small Spanish onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
8 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 teaspoons chipotles in adobo puree
2 tablespoons Mexican crema, creme fraiche or sour cream
Juice of 1/2 lime

Steps:

  • For the Southwestern cornbread strata: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 10-by-12-inch baking dish and place on a baking sheet. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cornbread, press to submerge, and let stand, stirring once or twice to soak the cornbread evenly and thoroughly.
  • Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the sausage, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Add the onion, bell pepper and poblano to the drippings in the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned in spots and soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir the sausage and onion mixture into the cornbread mixture. Stir in the chopped cilantro, 3/4 cup of the Cheddar and 3/4 cup of the Monterey Jack. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish, dot with the goat cheese and sprinkle on the cotija and remaining 1/4 cups Cheddar and Monterey Jack. Bake until the edges are puffed and lightly golden brown and the center still jiggles slightly, about 40 minutes.
  • For the tomato sauce: While the strata bakes, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and chipotle and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is reduced by half and thickened, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree until creamy, venting the top of the blender to allow steam to escape. Return the sauce to the saucepan over low heat, and whisk in the crema and salt and pepper to taste; let the sauce heat through and then remove from the heat. Stir in the lime juice and cover to keep warm.
  • Let the strata rest for about 10 minutes, then serve with the creamy spicy tomato sauce, garnishing each serving with some of the whole cilantro leaves.

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will result in a better-tasting strata. Choose high-quality sausage, cornbread, and eggs.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the strata tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a deep baking dish: A deep baking dish will help to prevent the strata from drying out.
  • Bake the strata until it is set in the center: A toothpick inserted into the center of the strata should come out clean.
  • Let the strata cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent it from falling apart.
