Leftover Stuffing Breakfast Strata
Think of this breakfast casserole in ratios and swap in whatever vegetables or cheeses you like to suit the ingredients in your original stuffing. Beaten eggs bind stuffing into a strata with mushrooms, sausage, bell peppers, and kale. You can change the additions to complement the flavor profile of your stuffing recipe.
Ingredients
-
8 oz pork breakfast sausage
-
1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
-
1/2 cup chopped onion
-
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
-
1 ½ cups kale, coarsely chopped
-
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
-
1/4 tsp dried thyme
-
4 cups leftover stuffing
-
5 large eggs
-
1 cup milk
-
4 oz white cheddar cheese, shredded (1 cup)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a 2-qt. baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In an extra-large skillet cook sausage, mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper over medium until pork is browned and vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
-
Add kale, crushed red pepper, and thyme. Cook and stir until kale is wilted, 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Spread stuffing in prepared baking dish. Spoon sausage mixture over stuffing.
-
In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, milk, and 1/2 tsp. black pepper. Carefully pour egg mixture over layers in dish. Gently press down on stuffing to moisten. Sprinkle cheese on top.
-
Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and strata puffs up, 30 minutes. If needed, loosely cover with foil toward end of baking time to prevent overbrowning. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
