Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups raisins bread, cubed
- 1 pound sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 3 plums, sliced
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cubed raisin bread, cooked and crumbled sausage, and sliced plums. Mix gently to distribute evenly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the raisin bread, sausage, and plums, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the strata from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this sweet-and-savory delight!
