Bison Sausage Apple Sage Strata

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bison Sausage Apple Sage Strata.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a 3-quart rectangular baking dish and give it a light spritz with nonstick cooking spray—this will help your delicious creation slide right out later.

3. Step 3

   Now, let’s move to the stove! In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bison sausage along with the chopped onion.

4. Step 4

   Sauté them until the sausage is beautifully browned and the onion turns a lovely translucent shade.

5. Step 5

   Next, toss in the chopped apples and let everything cook together for another 5 minutes, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.

6. Step 6

   Once that’s done, drain any excess fat from the skillet to keep things light and tasty.

7. Step 7

   In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, chopped sage, and a sprinkle of black pepper until everything is well blended.

8. Step 8

   This mixture will add a creamy richness to your strata.

9. Step 9

   Now, it’s time to assemble! Place the bread cubes in your prepared baking dish, creating a cozy base.

    Evenly distribute the bison sausage mixture and the shredded provolone cheese over the bread cubes, ensuring every bite will be packed with flavor.

11. Step 11

    Gently mix everything together, so the ingredients are well combined.

    Now, pour the egg mixture over the bread and sausage blend, making sure to cover all the ingredients evenly.

13. Step 13

    This step is crucial for achieving that perfect custardy texture.

14. Step 14

    Slide the baking dish into your preheated oven and let it bake uncovered for about 40 to 45 minutes.

15. Step 15

    You’ll know it’s ready when a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, signaling that your strata is perfectly set.

16. Step 16

    Once it’s done, allow the strata to rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

17. Step 17

    This little pause lets the flavors meld beautifully and makes it easier to slice.
