Easy Breakfast Strata image

It's like bread pudding, only with bacon. Yummy. You can add pretty much anything to this and it works. Hashbrowns, sautéed veggies, mushrooms, spinach.. your imagination is the limit! Serve with a green salad for a brunch or casual dinner.

Time P1DT50m

Yield 1 9x13 pan, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb breakfast sausage, browned and drained
12 ounces bacon, browned and drained
1/2 loaf day-old French bread, cubed
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
10 eggs
3 cups half-and-half (can substitute milk)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
salsa, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • In a 9 x 13 greased pan, layer bread cubes, sausage, bacon and cheese.
  • In a separate bowl, beat eggs with the 1/2 and 1/2, salt, pepper, and mustard. Pour over the layered ingredients and make sure to press everything down into the custard mixture.
  • Cover and refrigerate over night. If your in a hurry you can weigh the top down with cans and cut the wait time down to about 2 hours (ok, so not so much a hurry but it's faster than overnight!)
  • Take out of refrigerator and let set at room temperature 30 minutes before baking 50-60 minutes at 350 degrees. Knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
