EASY SAUSAGE STRATA
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.

BREAKFAST-FOR-DINNER EGG BOATS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Brown the breakfast sausage in a medium skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 6 minutes.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, mustard and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Cut a long oval down the center of each bread, about 2 inches wide and 4 inches long. Hollow out most of the insides, like a canoe, leaving about 1/2-inch border all the way around. Place on a baking sheet, then gently pour half the egg mixture into each "boat." Sprinkle with the browned breakfast sausage and a few pinches of chopped kale, then top with remaining egg mixture.
- Top each boat with the shredded Cheddar, and bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly and eggs are just set, between 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool about 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve!
CHEESY SAUSAGE AND SPINACH BREAKFAST STRATA
This strata is delicious! We love a breakfast recipe that you can make ahead and just pop in the oven the next day. The croissant base adds an elegant and buttery touch. The onions give the strata bit of sweetness while the spinach adds an earthy flavor. The egg, sausage, and cheese mixture is fantastic. Great for a game day...

BREAKFAST SAUSAGE AND SPINACH STRATA (EMERIL GREEN RECIPE)
I normally hate spinach and absolutely loved this recipe! It's great for a brunch or a special breakfast. Just make it up the night before, stick in the fridge, and you can just pop it in the oven the next morning. It's easy to adjust to recipe and make substitutions if you want to, as well. Note that the prep time includes time that it chills in the fridge.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and saute, until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausages to a plate.
