Mexican Sausage Strata

I wanted to make something really good for breakfast on Christmas Day but I didnt want greasy or extremely fattening. This seemed like a good choice & it took more effort than my usual quick breakfasts.

1 c skim milk
1/2 c light sour cream
1/2 c monteray jack cheese, shredded
1/3 c reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/3 c salsa

Coat a 10 in quiche dish with cooking spray.
Spread bread evenly on the bottom of the dish.

Crumble turkey sausage into a medium skillet.
Cook until brown over medium high heat.
Drain & sprinkle over bread.

In a medium mixing bowl, beat together eggs, milk, & sour cream.
Stir in monteray jack and cheddar cheeses.
Pour egg mixture over sausage.

Spoon salsa on top and enjoy!



The other really great thing about this dish is that it yields pretty large portions for such a low calorie count. I always find that to be a plus!
