Description

This Egg and Sausage Strata is the ultimate make-ahead breakfast dish, offering a comforting blend of savory flavors and tender textures. By layering cubed white bread with seasoned bulk pork sausage, onions, green peppers, and pimientos, you create a hearty base that soaks up a rich egg and milk custard. The addition of Worcestershire sauce and dry mustard adds a subtle depth of flavor that elevates this simple meal. Ideal for holiday brunches or Sunday mornings, the strata can be assembled the night before and baked fresh in the morning. It serves a crowd easily and pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit or a side of crisp bacon.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325&# 194;°F (165ðC).
  2. Cut the white bread into 1-inch cubes, removing the crusts, and line a greased 13x9-inch baking dish with them.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the bulk pork sausage, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks.
  4. Add the chopped onion and green pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Drain any excess grease from the sausage mixture and stir in the drained, chopped pimientos.
  6. Sprinkle the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, salt, pepper, and dried oregano until smooth.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and sausage, ensuring all cubes are submerged.
  9. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  10. Remove the strata from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes while the oven preheats.
  11. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
  12. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let the strata stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
