A most delicious breakfast strata with sausage, egg, and cheese with some peppers and onions for added flavor! This strata is so good you won’t mind eating it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. While it may fit in to that casserole category, the taste is simply one you won’t forget.

Strata Time
Strata for breakfast? Eh, idk.
How ’bout a brunch casserole with layers of asiago cheese bread, sausage, and eggs that are then topped with a cheddar cheesalicious layer! Oh my gawd, it’s so amaaazing!
And I am not even an everyday breakfast-eating or casserole-loving kinda gal but I do like a great brunch every once in awhile. And this strata falls into that great brunch category every time. What I really love about this recipe is that it is super quick to prep. Some breakfast casseroles require a lot of prep work that it is almost necessary to put it together the night before, but not this one. This strata takes minimal prep work so there is no reason to bother getting it together the night before. BONUS!
I used asiago cheese bread for this recipe and it is a must in this strata! It gives the strata substance and more cheese flavor!👍
Here is just how easy this recipe is…
And then to the oven to bake at 350℉ for 3o minutes. Muah! Thank you delicious and so easy sausage, egg, and cheese strata. You make my life wonderful!
