Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and dry mustard until well combined.
  3. Spread the sourdough bread cubes evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Distribute the cooked, chopped Italian sausage and diced green chilies evenly over the bread cubes.
  5. Sprinkle half of the shredded Cheddar cheese over the sausage and chilies.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and toppings, ensuring all cubes are soaked. Press down gently with a spatula to help the bread absorb the liquid.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese over the top.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set, the top is golden brown, and the strata is slightly puffed.
  9. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
