This Sausage, Vegetable and Cheese Strata is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weekend brunch or a cozy dinner. With a combination of mild and hot pork sausage, you get a wonderful depth of flavor that is sure to satisfy. The addition of spinach, zucchini, bell peppers, and onion not only adds a vibrant color but also a healthy dose of vegetables. The bread soaks up the egg and milk mixture, creating a soft and fluffy texture, while the cheeses melt and create a delicious, gooey layer. This recipe is a great way to feed a crowd, as it serves 12 people and can be easily adapted to suit different tastes and dietary preferences.
The preparation time is well worth the wait, as the flavors meld together beautifully after being refrigerated for a few hours. Baking the strata at a lower temperature ensures that it cooks evenly, resulting in a perfectly cooked center and a golden brown top. With a caloric breakdown that includes a good balance of protein, fat, and carbs, this dish is not only delicious but also provides a satisfying and nourishing meal.
