Ingredients

• 1 lb Breakfast sausage
• 6 cups Day-old bread (cubed)
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups Milk
• 8 Eggs
• 1 tsp Dried mustard
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Butter (for greasing the dish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles, until fully browned. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dried mustard, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Begin assembling the strata by layering half of the cubed bread in the greased baking dish. Top with half of the cooked sausage and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 5

Repeat the layering process with the remaining bread, sausage, and cheese.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the assembled layers, ensuring all the bread is soaked with the liquid.

Step 7

Let the strata sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the bread to fully absorb the egg mixture. For best results, cover and refrigerate it overnight before baking.

Step 8

Bake the strata for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A knife inserted into the middle should come out clean.

Step 9

Remove the strata from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Slice into portions and enjoy!
