Sunset<\/a> Red, Yellow or Orange Sweet Bell Peppers, or a combination
\n1\/2 lb bulk Italian sausage
\n1\/2 cup diced onion
\n1 Tbsp minced fresh garlic
\n8 eggs
\n3 cups half-and-half
\n1 tsp salt
\n1\/4 tsp black pepper
\n8 cups 1-inch-diced French or Italian rustic bread, such as a baguette
\n2 cups (8 oz) grated Italian cheese blend
\n1\/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese<\/p>\nSeed the peppers, dice them into 1\/2\u2033 pieces and set aside.<\/p>\n
Heat a large saut\u00e9 pan over medium-high heat, add sausage and cook until half done, about 3 minutes. Add onion and reserved peppers, and saut\u00e9 for about 8 \u201310 minutes or until peppers are tender-crisp. Stir in garlic. Remove from the heat and set aside.<\/p>\n
In a large bowl whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt and pepper until well combined. Add bread, Italian cheese blend, half the Parmesan cheese and the cooked sausage-pepper mixture.<\/p>\n
Transfer mixture to an 11×13\u2033 baking pan and lightly press into pan to fill evenly. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over the top and let sit, refrigerated, for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight, so that bread soaks up egg mixture.<\/p>\n
When ready to serve, preheat oven to 350\u00b0F and bake strata for about 45 \u2013 50 minutes or until puffy and golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n
Chef’s Notes: 1 baguette averages about 8 cups diced bread. Be sure to use a somewhat hearty bread for making this dish. Strata is also excellent as a simple supper dish.<\/p>\n

Eggs are the classic breakfast food, but these days eggs are showing up in every meal. Stratas are a great dish to get ready the night before so weeknight dinners won\u2019t feel like such a hassle. Bread, eggs and cheese are mixed with other goodies.
