Last week, I mentioned I had made a Sausage and Apple Strata. I was asked for the recipe. Regular readers will know that I am a half-assed cook.
What's a strata you ask? It's a layered egg casserole. You can put pretty much anything you like in it.
This is the recipe I used as my template for the number of eggs, bread cubes, sausage, and apples, what temperature to bake it and how long.
The recipe called for Dubliner cheese. I've never heard of it, and I don't really like cheese. If I had to use cheese for this recipe, I would have used a mild cheddar, but you use what you like. I left the cheese out.
The recipe called for bulk sage sausage. I had frozen breakfast sausage links. I cooked the links according to the package directions and then cut them into small pieces.
The recipe called for Sourdough or French bread. Didn't have any. Bread in a strata should be a bit stale. I toasted about 6 bread slices and cubed that.
The recipe called for fresh rosemary. You guessed it in the cheap seats. Nada. I left it out.
We're pretty much non-adventurous eaters here. Salt and pepper is fancy enough spices for us.
The casserole was made for a Sunday brunch and I heard no complaints from the diners.
I'll be giving this a try, sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt was good. Easy to put together.
DeleteSo, basically, make it up as you go along and enjoy the end product. Pretty much my approach to cooking!
ReplyDeleteThat's it
DeleteThe beauty about most recipes is that you can change them all you like. It looks tasty, whether you follow the exact recipe or tweak it to be your own. Thanks for sharing. I think this is something I want to try out.
ReplyDeleteIf you follow the exact recipe, let me know how it turned out
DeleteSounds yummy! 😉
ReplyDeleteIt was and didn't take too long to put together
DeleteThat does sound yummy CJ! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteMy SIL does a strata for the annual Christmas get together. It's always a crowd pleaser and she's changed it up so many ways
DeleteIll lay odds I am more of a half assed cook than you….if it’s not in the microwave, it’s not cooked….period ‼️‼️‼️😸
ReplyDelete😹
DeleteYay! Someone who cooks like I do (half-assed:) The breakfast casserole does sound yummy.
ReplyDeleteFor half-assed, it was pretty good.
DeleteThis sounds like an interesting combination.
ReplyDeleteIt is savory and sweet at the same time
DeleteSounds a good Sunday brunch and a definite plus to have no complaints from the diners...that's a win :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
