My Sausage, Egg and Cheese Strata is a Flavorful Breakfast Casserole with a twist. The sophisticated flavor of brie cheese combines with sausage and eggs to take breakfast or brunch to the next level.

=== 🍽🍸🥩 RECIPE ===
1 pound (460g) loose breakfast sausage meat
1 small onion, chopped
1 day-old sourdough bread round, cubed
8 ounces (230g) chopped roasted red peppers
8 ounces (230g) brie, cubed
3 ounces (90g) grated parmesan
8 large eggs
16 ounces (475ml) heavy cream
2 tablespoons dried basil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
8 ounces (226g) shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
Salt & Pepper
13 x 9 inch (33 x 22cm) baking dish, greased
Yield: 12 Servings

This recipe is assembled the day before serving and chilled in the refrigerator overnight.

In a large skillet, cook the sausage and onion over medium heat until the meat is cooked and the onions are softened. Set aside to cool.

Place half the bread cubes in the greased baking dish. Layer with half the sausage mixture, red peppers, brie, and parmesan cheese . Repeat with the rest of the bread, sausage, peppers, brie and parmesan.

In a large bowl combine the eggs, heavy cream, mustard, basil, salt & pepper. Whisk to combine, and pour over the bread mixture in the baking dish. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.

Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven, and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Place back in the oven, and bake for another 4 to 6 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
