Cheese Sausage Stratta
The Original Recipe:
I received this recipe in an email from Taste of Home. It looked delicious. I hadn't yet planned anything for supper that day, so breakfast sounded like a great compromise. However, upon reading the instructions I found that it needed to be in the refrigerator overnight. I prompltly thawed out some sausage and cooked it up. I then assembled this dish right afterwards and stuck it in the refrigerator. We ate it later that night. It was in the 'fridge for about 6 hours before I took it out for the 30 minutes before baking. I think it turned out just fine. I don't know what leaving it sit overnight in the 'fridge would have done to it, but everyone loved it anyway.
