Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 3/4 cup half-and-half
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• Dash nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
• 6 slices bread, cubed
• 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked, drained and crumbled
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese, or more

Directions

1. Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half-and-half, salt, mustard, nutmeg and white pepper.

3. In the prepared baking dish, layer half each of the bread, sausage and cheese, then repeat using the remaining ingredients to create a second layer of each. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers, gently pressing with a fork to make sure all of the ingredients are submerged.

4. Cover the baking dish with foil, crimping the edges tightly. Refrigerate for at least an hour or up to overnight (longer is better).

5. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 F.

6. Uncover and bake the strata for 1 hour, or until puffy and a knife inserted at the center comes out clean.
