Sausage Poblano Pepper Strata

The name strata come from layers. Strata is a breakfast dish made from a beaten egg mixture poured over bread (sliced or cubed). There are innumerable variations, omnivore and vegetarian

• different varieties of vegetables
• breakfast meats (sausage, bacon, ham)
• herbs and spices

I like stratas because you can make them the day before and chilled overnight. In the morning bake it in the oven.
