Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small pieces, until it is fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside.
Spread the leftover stuffing evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage on top of the stuffing layer, followed by 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the stuffing, sausage, and cheese layers in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese on top and lightly press down to ensure the liquid soaks into the stuffing.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the strata is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the strata rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your hearty Stuffing Breakfast Strata!
