Breakfast Strata Recipe with Sausage and Mushrooms
Description
To prepare, ciabatta bread cubes are toasted until slightly crisp. Turkey breakfast sausage is cooked and crumbled while mushrooms are sliced. A custard mixture of milk, eggs, cheddar, Parmesan, paprika, and salt is whisked together, then combined with the bread, sausage, scallions, and mushrooms. This mixture is refrigerated covered to allow the bread to absorb the custard thoroughly.
Baked at 350°F for about 50 minutes, the strata sets into a golden-topped casserole with tender, flavorful layers. The paprika adds subtle warmth, and the mix of cheeses provides a sharpness and creaminess that complements the savory sausage. This dish serves as a hearty breakfast or brunch option.
