Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add sausage. Cook and stir until crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.

Step 4

Spread butter on inside of each English muffin half; arrange in the prepared baking dish. Top with 1/2 each sausage, Cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese.

Whisk eggs, sour cream, and green chiles together in a large bowl; pour evenly over sausage and cheese layer. Top with remaining 1/2 each sausage, Cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Cover strata and chill for 8 hours.
