aside. (If using frozen asparagus, cook as directed on package; drain and

buttered 7 by 13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1-1/2 cups of the cheese over
bread slices. Top with ham and asparagus pieces in even layers.

Basic Breakfast Strata
This has been our Christmas morning breakfast for years, because I can just
throw it in the oven and resume watching the children play with their toys.
It originally came from Cooking Light magazine a zillion years ago.
I use the larger amount of sausage, double the garlic, and use the sharpest
cheddar cheese I can find. But then my whole family tends to like spicy
foods, so that might not be to everyone's taste.
1/2 - 3/4 pound hot sausage
1 cup skim milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 green onions, chopped
8 eggs (or equivalent Egg Beaters)
1/4 c. (1 ounce) shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper
6 (1-ounce) slices white bread, cut into 1/2" cubes
Brown sausage; blot with paper towels. Combine milk and next 7 ingredients
in a large bowl; stir well. Add sausage and bread, stirring just until well
blended. Pour into an 11x7x2-inch baking dish coated with Pam. Cover and
chill 8 to 12 hours.
