Easy Sausage Strata - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 large eggs
2 1/2 cups whole milk
2 cups green onions, chopped
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup grated romano cheese
2 tablespoons fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb hot Italian sausage

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F Spray a 13x9x2 pan with cooking spray.
Whisk the first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Sprinkle with pepper. Set aside
Remove casings from sausage and place sausage in a large non-stick skillet. Add chopped red bell pepper. Saute on high, breaking up sausage with a wooden spoon until the sausage is cooked about 7 minutes.
Cut bread into 1/2 \" cubes and arrange a row of bread cubes on the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Sprinkle with 1/2 cheese, then half the sausage/pepper mix. Repeat layers.
Pour egg mixture over the top. If serving that day, let it stand for 20 minutes for the bread to soak up the mixture. If serving the next day, refrigerate.
Bake strata until puffed and brown about 1 hour at 350\u00b0F Cool slightly and serve.
