Breakfast Strata (Courtesy of Mel)

Ingredients:
3-4 Cups veggies (mushrooms, peppers, zucchini, broccoli, peas, onion, scallion, tomato - whatever you have on hand)
1 Jimmy Dean Sausage Roll (you can use any kind of sausage, ham or bacon - about 10-12oz)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 Cup half & half (I use light cream)
6 eggs
2 Cups cubed day old bread (half a loaf of italian is about right)
1 1/2 Cups shredded cheddar
Salt & Pepper

Method:
1. Saute the sausage till cooked through
2. Saute the veggies till tender (for the one you I made you, I did: 1 onion, mushrooms, 1 red pepper, 1/2 green pepper, broccoli, scallion & garlic)
3. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese till smooth. Beat in eggs.
4. Stir in bread, cheese, salt & pepper. Stir in half and half (or cream). Stir in veggies & meat. (don't over-stir, you don't want to turn the bread to mush)
5. Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 pan
6. Bake 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes uncovered (till a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean)

This can be made the night before and baked in the morning. Enjoy!
