A Healthier Egg Strata

I often make an egg strata that is delicious but has lots of saturated fat in it because it uses pork sausage. I tried this version last week when Nana was down and it was really good. I used whole grain bread instead of white and it was fine. I didn't have to fry up the sausage, which made it really quick to put together. You can use other types of chicken sausage and vary the type of cheese.

1 lb precooked chicken sausage with spinach and garlic, without casings
6 eggs beaten
2 cups skim milk
6 pieces whole grain bread, heels removed
1 cup mozzarella cheese

Cut sausage in small pieces. Remove heels from bread and cube. Beat the eggs with the milk, then add bread and sausage. Place in slightly greased casserole dish (9 x 13). Cover with shredded cheese. This must sit overnight in the refrigerator. In the morning, cook at 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. It serves at least 8 people, sometimes more.
