Easter Brunch Sausage and Mushroom Strata Recipe

Ingredients:

225g (1/2 lb) pork sausages
100g (2/5 lb) mushrooms, sliced
40g (1 1/2 oz) onions, sliced
225g (1/2 lb) mature (sharp) cheese, cubed
500g (1 lb) cubed bread
250ml (1 cup) milk
4 whole eggs, lightly beaten

Method:

Brown the sausages in a large non-stick pan. Drain away the excess fat then add the mushrooms and onions and fry for a further 5 minutes. Take off the heat and set aside to cool for 10 minutes. When the mixture has cooled stir-in the cheese and cubed bread then transfer the mixture to a greased 20cm square baking dish.

Whisk together the milk and eggs then pour over the sausage mix. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the liquid time to penetrate the bread. After this time remove the covering and transfer to an oven pre-heated to 175ºC (350ºF). Bake, uncovered, for about 1 hour, or until set and golden brown. Allow to stand for 10 minutes then slice and serve.
