Receta Turkey Sausage, Swiss Cheese & Tomato Strata
This month the Virtual Supper Club is bringing you brunch! My contribution is this delicious
Turkey Sausage, Swiss Cheese and Tomato Strata!
I don't know about you, but weekends always mean brunch to me. My weekdays are so hectic that I am lucky to get out the door with protien shake in hand or even a packed lunch at times. I don't remember it being so hectic when the kids were home, maybe it was, or maybe I was younger and had more energy back then!
The original recipe for this strata is for Bacon Cheddar and Tomato, however, I had no bacon (shocker!) but I had turkey sausage. When I think cheese and tomato, the natural combination to me is swiss, not cheddar. Hence, Turkey Sausage, Swiss Chees, and Tomato Strata was born. This was delicious and since Grumpy and I don't eat a whole casserole by ourselves, I halved the recipe. Still, at that I took leftovers to work and shared with co-workers. Loved this recipe and I hope you will too!
