EASY SAUSAGE STRATA



Easy Sausage Strata image

This strata is really easy to make. Put it together the day before, then just remove from the refrigerator and bake. Ham or bacon can be substituted for the sausage. Sometimes I add cooked chopped broccoli for a change of pace.

HOLIDAY SAUSAGE STRATA



Holiday Sausage Strata image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Time 9h15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound breakfast or Italian sausage, removed from casing
4 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
14 to 16 slices (1/2-inch thick) French/Italian bread, left out overnight or toasted
12 ounces Gruyere, shredded
2 cups half-and-half
12 large eggs
1 tablespoon kosher salt
Cracked black pepper
3 cups broccoli florets with about 1 1/2 inches of stalk remaining
1 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat, crumbling it with a spoon, until mostly brown but still a little pink, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel; reserve the sausage fat separately.
  • Butter both sides of the bread with the butter. Arrange half of the bread in 1 layer in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with half the sausage, followed by half the Gruyere. Repeat with another layer of the remaining bread, sausage and cheese.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, 2 teaspoons of the salt and some pepper. Pour the mixture over the layers of bread, sausage and cheese. Cover in plastic wrap and weigh down the strata with a couple sacks of rice/beans in a zipper top bag to compress it. Refrigerate overnight.
  • The morning of baking, remove the plastic wrap and weights. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Toss the broccoli with the reserved sausage fat, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Dot the top of the strata with the broccoli florets so the broccoli tops are still visible (to look like trees) but the stalks are submerged in the custard. Bake until the edges pull away from the dish and the center is puffed, about 45 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Right before serving, sprinkle with the Parmesan to mimic snow on trees.

2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained, patted dry and chopped
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions

Steps:

(This can also be assembled the day of; just let soak at room temperature 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking.)
  • On the day of baking, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Let the strata sit at room temperature while the oven preheats. Remove the plastic and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar.

SAUSAGE AND CHEESE STRATA WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



Sausage and Cheese Strata with Sun-dried Tomatoes image

An incredible alternative to Lasagna. You will not believe how light and puffy it bakes up. Never any thrown away. Actually better the next day in my opinion as the ingredients blend. Instead of crustless white bread I usually use Italian bread just broken into small pieces. I believe I obtained this recipe from Bon Apetit a few years ago.
