Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. This ensures a perfectly baked strata with a golden top just waiting to be delighted in!
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once bubbly, add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. This step creates a savory aroma that sets the tone for the dish.
Whisk together the large eggs and whole milk in a large bowl. Don t forget to sprinkle in the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper for a flavor boost!
Combine the cooked sausage with the cubed bread, shredded fontina, frozen spinach, baby bella mushrooms, and grape tomatoes in the same bowl. Mix gently to bring everything together.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread mixture, taking care to soak all the cubes. Use a spatula to ensure every piece is coated well.
Let it Rest for 15-30 minutes. This crucial step allows the bread to absorb the egg mixture, transforming it into a custardy delight.
Bake uncovered for about 55-60 minutes. Keep an eye on it you re looking for a golden top and an inviting aroma to fill your kitchen!
Garnish your beautiful breakfast strata with fresh basil before serving, adding a touch of color and freshness.
