Sausage Breakfast Bake

Sausage Breakfast Bake

This is my variation of the Bob Evans' Sunrise Squares. It is a cross between a strata and a frittata. A strata has bread included but needs to rest in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. A frittata does not include the bread but can be baked in the oven.
