We love breakfast foods in our house…especially savory breakfast foods with plenty of eggs (from backyard chickens, of course)! We even love to have them for dinner! Breakfast food is good food anytime of the day!
Frittatas, Bacon Hash, Breakfast Casseroles, even Oatmeal! Yum!! Can't get enough!!!
I got this recipe for an Italian Sausage and Bell Pepper Strata from my CSA, Sandhill Organics. I had most of the ingredients so decided to give it a whirl! It was delicious and I bet could be assembled ahead of time and baked when you want to eat.
I used sausage from pastured animals, veggies from my CSA and organic, whole milk and cream and organic and local cheese! This was a nourishing feast!
Enjoy!!
