Strata is a savory bread pudding that's perfect for a late Sunday breakfast. The casserole is assembled the night before and refrigerated overnight before baking. This ensures the perfect texture. But if you're short on time, let it sit for at least half an hour. This strata is made with sourdough bread, sautéed sausage, caramelized onions, and Muenster cheese. This combination creates a rich and complex flavor.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Grease a 22x32cm baking dish with butter.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any large lumps with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes; transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until very soft and golden, 20-25 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, another 6 minutes. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the cream, Parmesan, eggs, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
Place half the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1.5 cups of Muenster, then add the sausage-onion mixture. Top with the remaining bread cubes and pour the cream mixture evenly over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. You can let the mixture rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking.
On the day of baking, preheat the oven to 160°C.
Let the casserole stand at room temperature while the oven preheats. Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Muenster. Bake until the bread is slightly puffed and the liquid has set in the center, 40-50 minutes. Let it rest for 5 minutes and serve.
