Coco's Strata

This is a really simple breakfast or main dish egg strata. It is my daughter's (Coco) favorite. It isn't fancy, but easy to do, great for a make-ahead meal and tastes great! I hope you like it.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 4 -5  slices  bread (I use regular white bread)
• 1  lb bulk sausage (any flavor)
• 2  cups  grated cheddar cheese
• 6  eggs
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1  teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2  cups milk
• 1 (3 ounce) bag  pre-cooked bacon (pieces)

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350.
2. Grease 9 x 13 pan.
3. Fry sausage, breaking it up (like ground beef) as it cooks then drain on paper towels.
4. Tear bread into bite-sized pieces and place in pan.
5. Sprinkle cooked sausage then cheese evenly over bread.
6. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, salt, Worcestershire sauce and milk, and whisk together with wire whisk until combined.
7. Pour over bread mixture then sprinkle bacon over the top.
8. Bake 35-40 minutes at 350, checking bacon after 25 minutes- if it looks too brown, cover with foil for rest of cooking time.
9. This can be prepared up to the night before (just increase cooking time to 55-60 minutes if prepared in advance).
