Pumpkin and Sausage Strata
Still looking for something special for Christmas morning that can be made a head of time?
This breakfast strata is healthy and delicious. Great for those chilly weekend winter mornings have everyone gather around the table and enjoy this warm but healthy comfort food!
I was hoping we would have some leftovers, ha, fat chance.
The pan was scraped clean! My children loved it, nana loved it, and I loved my making it!
It was so gourmet but so easy and flavorful.
While we were eating we were all discussing how much this would be in some fancy farm to table restaurant.
Now you can certainly make this strata less healthy by cutting off the crust of the bread, leaving out the pumpkin and using regular whole milk but if you have it, make it healthy.
No one will ever know you used sprouted Ezekiel Bread. You can buy it at most any grocery store that has healthy food. Trader Joe’s, Harris Teeter, Earth Fare, Publix, Whole Foods, etc. It makes great toast too.
I used a cinnamon raisin version for the strata because I wanted those flavors in it. But you can use regular hearty bread.
