Personal Notes:
This dish is made ahead the night before and put in the oven to bake the next morning, making it a perfect Christmas morning brunch. Wake up early with the family; bring the Strata to room temp, then bake as the family opens gifts. The aroma of sausage and cheese bubbling in the oven fills the house and warms the heart. We serve it with sliced oranges and apples and mini sweet rolls from the local bakery.
