Steps:
- In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat, crumbling it with a spoon, until mostly brown but still a little pink, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel; reserve the sausage fat separately.
- Butter both sides of the bread with the butter. Arrange half of the bread in 1 layer in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with half the sausage, followed by half the Gruyere. Repeat with another layer of the remaining bread, sausage and cheese.
- In a bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, 2 teaspoons of the salt and some pepper. Pour the mixture over the layers of bread, sausage and cheese. Cover in plastic wrap and weigh down the strata with a couple sacks of rice/beans in a zipper top bag to compress it. Refrigerate overnight.
- The morning of baking, remove the plastic wrap and weights. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Toss the broccoli with the reserved sausage fat, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Dot the top of the strata with the broccoli florets so the broccoli tops are still visible (to look like trees) but the stalks are submerged in the custard. Bake until the edges pull away from the dish and the center is puffed, about 45 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Right before serving, sprinkle with the Parmesan to mimic snow on trees.
HOLIDAY BREAKFAST STRATA WITH SAUSAGE (OR NOT)
This easy overnight breakfast strata is perfect for holiday mornings. When time is tight and a special breakfast is in order, this fits the bill on both counts. Add sausage for the meat-eaters and for the vegetarians, you can leave it out or substitute veggie sausage. It's delicious either way.

- Spray two approximately 4" x 8'' baking pans/casserole dishes with non-stick cooking spray.
- Layer two slices of the bread in the bottom of each pan.
- Sprinkle 1/4 of the veggies over the bread in each pan.
- Spread half the crumbled sausage over the sausage version.
- Sprinkle on 1/4 of the cheese over each.
- Pour about 1/2 cup of the egg mixture over the top.
- Add a layer of the remaining bread, two more slices each, then veggies, then sausage over the sausage side, then cheese.
- Pour the rest of the egg mixture evenly over the top of each.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight, or for at least three hours.
- In the morning, uncover and bake at 325 degrees for about 40 - 50 minutes, until set.
BREAKFAST STRATA WITH COUNTRY SAUSAGE
Steps:
- Brush a large gratin dish with some of the oil.
- To cook the sausage, in a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until it begins to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and red and yellow bell peppers and saute until the onion is golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds.
- To assemble the strata, place half of the bread cubes in the prepared gratin dish and top with half of the sausage mixture. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the grated cheese over the sausage mixture and top with the remaining bread cubes and sausage.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, sage, and parsley in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the custard over the strata. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 12 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Let the chilled strata stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Bake the strata for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese; continue baking until the strata is puffed and golden brown, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. (If the top of the strata starts to get too brown, cover it with aluminum foil.) Remove to a rack to cool slightly. Serve hot or warm.
BREAKFAST STRATA
My grandmother makes this every Christmas morning, and it's amazing. My husband hates eggs and he always has seconds, even my 1- and 2-year-old gobble this up. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Ingredients are forgiving; add your favorites or spice it up. Just make sure your veggies are not going to water it down.
