Breakfast Sausage and Kale Strata

Ingredients

1 pound breakfast links
1 bunch kale, stems removed and roughly chopped
10 large eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 c. Grated Monterey Jack Cheese
1 loaf Crusty French Or Italian Bread, Cut Into Cubes

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausages in the pan for about 7 minutes, flip, then cook 7 minutes more. Add in kale and cover the pan with a lid (or aluminum foil) and allow the kale to steam for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove sausage and dice.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper until well combined. Stir in cheese, sausage, and kale.

3. Line the bottom of a 9×13 pan with bread cubes in a single layer, cutting them as needed to fit. Pour egg mixture over the bread. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight.

4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Uncover the strata and bake for 1 hour. Serve hot.
