How to make BREAKFAST STRATA /Easy Recipe

Breakfast strata:
This is one of those recipes you can change up every time you make it. Vegetarian, ham and cheese, sausage and mushroom... let your imagination run wild with this one. What I like most about it is that you can use leftovers. It's pretty much a savory bread pudding, using stale bread, eggs and cheese.

Here is our recipe:
6 cups of stale bread, cut into 1" pieces (use really good quality
6 eggs
2-3 oz. fresh spinach (you can use frozen too)
8oz. ground breakfast sausage
1/2 an onion, cut into small pieces
1/2 fennel bult, cut into small pieces
1 clove garlic, crushed and diced
1 pasilla pepper, cut into small pieces (this has a mild spice)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
3/4-1 cup grated Grand Cru cheese (gruyere or fontina are also great)
1 1/3 cup 1/2 & 1/2
cracked pepper to taste
salt to taste
nutmeg, grated (small amount)

I used a wok in this video but use any non stick pan you have.

Over medium high heat, cook the sausage until no longer pink. Remove from pan. Add onion, peppers, fennel and garlic and cook until translucent.

Cut bread into 1" pieces

whisk eggs, add 1/2 & 1/2

remove pan from heat and gently mix in the spinach. You can season with cracked pepper, but be mindful with the amount of salt you use due to the seasoned sausage and cheese.

Pur onion mixture over bread pieces, then add the egg mixture. Stir evenly. Season with 3/4 of the amount of cheese. Leave a bit for sprinkling over the top. Grate some fresh nutmeg or use ground if that's what you have. Just a little xmasy magical touch here.
Grease a casserole dish and pour the strata mix into it. Flatten down, spinkle with cheese and if you have some fresh herbs, layer some over the top. We used parsley pieces which weren't cut and a rosemary branch.

Cover this and refrigerate over night. I should mention you can pop in the oven right after you prepare this and it will be quite lovely, but the overnight magic that happens is pure bliss. Let those ingredients get to know each other for about 12 hours or so.

Next morning, pop it in a pre heated 350 degree F oven for about 50 minutes, uncovered. We loved this so much, I believe it may even become a sunday morning tradition. We'll see. I'm thinking wild mushroom and goat cheese with herbs sounds mighty fine.
