- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups bread cubes day-old, crusts removed
- 6 large eggs beaten
- 1.5 cups milk whole or 2%
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 0.5 cup cooked sausage or bacon optional, diced
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, dry mustard, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
- Add the bread cubes, half of the cheese, and cooked meat (if using) to the bowl, stirring gently to coat everything in the egg mixture.
- Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid, then transfer it to a greased air fryer-safe baking dish that fits inside your air fryer basket.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top of the strata mixture.
- Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Place the dish inside the basket and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up. Slice and serve warm for a perfect Air Fryer Breakfast & Brunch dish.
