Savory Texas Breakfast Strata

A hearty, layered breakfast dish from the heart of Texas, combining the flavors of sausage, eggs, cheese, and fresh herbs.

🛒 Ingredients

• 1 pound Italian Sausage
• 1 medium Large Onion
• 1 shredded Cups of Cheddar Cheese
• 1 day-old Bread Loaf
• 6 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Chopped Fresh Parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. 2

   Cut the bread loaf into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes and spread in the prepared baking dish.

3. 3

   Cook the Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the onion to the skillet and cook until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

5. 5

   In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the shredded cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.

6. 6

   Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes in the baking dish, followed by the cooked sausage and onion mixture.

7. 7

   Dot the top of the strata with the melted butter.

8. 8

   Bake the strata in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

💡 Pro Tips

To prevent the strata from drying out, cover the dish with foil for the first 30 minutes of baking. For a more golden-brown top, remove the foil for the last 5-10 minutes of baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
