Make-Ahead Egg Strata

This recipe of my Mom's is a huge success whenever I make it, and since it is meant to be made the night before, it is perfect for taking to a brunch or for having guests over for breakfast. Instead of sweating over the stove first thing in the morning, you can pop this into the oven and take a shower. :)

Ingredients:
4-6 slices of sourdough bread
Butter
1 small can of diced mild ortega chiles
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup grated jack cheese
6 eggs
1 box pre-cooked breakfast sausage, cut into small pieces
2 cups milk (I use nonfat)
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1/4 tsp garlic powder


1.) Butter the bread, remove the crusts, and place in the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish, butter side up. Spread chiles over the bread.

2.) Combine all remaining ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight. 

3.) In the morning, cook uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 45-55 minutes.

Pretty easy and very yummy!
