Easy Breakfast Strata Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound sausage, casings removed
• 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
• 10 cups cubed, day-old bread
• 8 eggs, beaten
• 3 cups whole milk
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1.5 cups cubed Black Forest ham
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons mustard powder
• 2 teaspoons butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish generously.
2. Brown sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook until fully browned, about 10 minutes, then transfer to the baking dish.
3. Cook sliced mushrooms in the same skillet over medium heat until browned and their liquid has evaporated, about 5 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess liquid.
4. In a large bowl, mix the mushrooms, bread, eggs, milk, cheddar cheese, ham, spinach, flour, dry mustard, melted butter, basil, and salt. Pour the mixture over the sausage in the baking dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
5. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
6. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 60 to 70 minutes.
