Breakfast Strata?

[minnie56]

Does anyone have a good recipe for one of these? I always say I am going to try making one for Christmas morning but never seem to!

I thought this year I really will!

I just emailed this to a handful of people that asked about it.

This is the recipe for the egg casserole that I like to serve Christmas morning. I cut the recipe in half for about 5-6 servings to feed my family of three. Half the dish fits in a 1.5 qt. Corning French White baker and we still have leftovers.

Confetti Egg Strata
page 41 The Pampered Chef Classics © 1999

8 oz. (1/2 loaf) Italian bread, cut in to 1-in cubes - plain white works just fine
8 oz. ham, cut into 1/2-in cubes (1 1/2 cups) - I like to buy the ham steaks, or use leftover ham
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced - I've used canned that are already sliced
1 cup red or green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup green onions with tops, sliced
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
10 eggs, slightly beaten
3 cups milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

Cut bread into 1-in cubes using serrated knife. Cut ham into 1/2-in cubes, slice mushrooms, coarsely chop bell pepper. Slice green onions. Lightly spray 9x13 baker with cooking spray. Layer half of each of the bread, cheese, ham, mushrooms, bell pepper and onion in baker. Repeat layers. In a large batter bowl, lightly beat eggs with whisk. Whisk in milk and seasonings until well blended. Slowly pour egg mixture over layered ingredients. Cover with aluminum foil, refrigerate several hours or overnight. Remove foil. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake 55-60 minutes or until strata is set and top is golden brown. Cut in to 12 squares. Yield 12 servings.

I keep wanting to make this with suasage instead of ham.
