Sweet Italian Sausage Strata

May 5, 2014 by Kay 1 Comment

Sweet Italian Sausage Strata is a make ahead breakfast item with sausage, eggs, Italian bread and cheddar and parmesan cheese.

Here is another idea for Mother’s Day Brunch, Sweet Italian Sausage Strata. You can make it the day before, let it set over night and bake it the next morning. Serve this along side a fresh fruit salad, coffee and juice and brunch is complete!

The bread soaks up the egg mixture a lot better if the bread is day old. I used an Italian bread in this recipe, I love the amount of crust the bread offers. The parmesan cheese forms a crust on the top of the strata and comes out of the oven  crispy, trust me, it’s very tasty. It’s important to grate fresh parmesan, it makes a difference in this recipe.

I prefer Sweet Italian Sausage in the strata, but feel free to use a spicy sausage, that would work well also.

Enjoy!
