Servings: 8 People
Calories: 839kcal
Equipment
- 9 x 13 Baking Dish
Ingredients
- ½ lb Bacon Chopped
- 1 lb Breakfast sausage
- 9 Large Eggs
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- 2 ½ cups Milk
- Cooking spray or butter
- 8 "Everything" Bagels Sliced into ½" slices
- 2 ½ cups Grated Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a large frying pan, cook bacon until almost crispy. Remove bacon from pan, leave the fat in the pain.
- In the same frying pan, cook the breakfast sausage until cooked through. Remove from heat, slice into bite-sized chunks, combine with cooked bacon.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper, and milk, until well combined.
- Using cooking spray or butter, grease a 9’x 13″ baking/cake pan.
- Arrange half of the bagel slices evenly in the pan. Top with half of the breakfast meat mixture, then half of the cheese.
- Repeat layering one more time, ending with cheese on top.
- Pour egg mixture evenly over everything, wrap with plastic wrap, and chill for 2-4 hours, or overnight.
- About an hour and a half before serving:
- Remove strata from fridge, preheat oven to 350F. I like to let the strata sit on the counter for 20 minutes or so, to take the chill off it.
- Remove plastic wrap from strata, cover with foil, and bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove foil, bake for another 10-15 minutes. Strata is ready when it is cooked through and golden brown on top.
- Serve hot!
