One recipe I do very well is Sausage Strata - we have this every year for Christmas breakfast and on special occasions like when we have out of town company.

Sausage Strata

INGREDIENTS
6 slices bread, crust removed
1 pound pork sausage
1 teaspoon mustard
3/4 cup shredded cheese
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
2/3 cup half-and-half cream



DIRECTIONS
Place bread in a 13 x 9 x 2 baking dish. In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and then stir in mustard. Sprinkle sausage mixture evenly over the bread. In a bowl, beat eggs, milk, cream. Pour evenly over sausage. Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the egg mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cut into squares; serve with sides of toast.

That sounds wonderful!!! I am going to try it next time I go to the store and pick up some sausage!

Our family loves it - my aunt made it for us one Christmas ages ago and now all our households make it Christmas morning and so when we call and talk its like we are eating together. It's like a family recipe now even though its quite common I think - but it is tasty.

I think some of the ladies at church make this. It's more than just Larry and I will eat so I am going to make it when luin77 comes to visit from Germany next month.

We make something pretty similar for Easter over here. Not Christmas, but easter. Allll those eggs. :)

It is a lot of eggs, lol, and I usually don't eat eggs a lot thats why its a nice treat every once and while. Even Sara who usually doesn't eat pork has some.

Alex and I had it yesterday and it was soooooo yummy! We didn't expect it to be so fluffy either. Thank you for sharing the recipe! :)

I'm glad you liked it! I think its the addition of the 1/2 and 1/2 that helps the eggs get fluffy.
