Breakfast Sausage and Mushroom Strata
You can make this with just about anything, just use your imagination!

Breakfast strata is sort of a savory breakfast french toast. It’s perfect for entertaining because you have to prepare everything the night before and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator. Next morning, pop it in the oven and breakfast is done.
You can easily swap out the mushrooms for asparagus or bell peppers, use ham instead of sausage, and make it with any cheese you like. Enjoy, whatever flavor combination you come up with!!

This was really good! I will definitely make this again!
Hi! If I make this and there are leftovers, what is the best way to reheat?
Thank you!
Should I cut the bread and let it sit over night before making the casserole to soak over night?
I couldn’t find whole wheat ciabatta bread, so I used whole wheat hamburger buns (just the cheap kind). I started to prep this and was excited to try it when I realized the recipe required an overnight soak. Well, I couldn’t wait so I left it soak for an hour or so and the buns had most of the liquid soaked up. So, I threw it in the oven and voila! It was fantastic:)
If you can’t eat mushrooms, what do you suggest as a possible substitute?
You can omit them, or add your favorite veggie(s) 🙂
How much egg substitute do you use? The directions say to add egg substitute but I don’t see it listed under ingredients. Thanks!
