1 pound Loose Sweet Italian Sausage
6 whole Plain Bagels, Torn Into Bite-sized Pieces
8 ounces, weight Mascarpone Cheese
1-1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese, Grated
1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Grated
8 whole Large Eggs
2 cups Half-and-half
1 cup Milk
1 teaspoon Dry Mustard
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1 teaspoon Poppy Seeds
1/2 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1/4 teaspoons Black Pepper
Sliced Green Onions And Fresh Greens (for Garnish)

1
In a large saute pan, add the sausage and cook over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to get rid of any excess grease.
2
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or a non-stick spray. Add the torn bagel pieces and sausage to the dish. Dollop teaspoons of mascarpone cheese on top and sprinkle on the mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Set aside.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, milk, dry mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, poppy seeds, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined. Pour the mixture over top of the casserole. Cover with a sheet of foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
4
When you are ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375 F. Bake the strata, still covered, for 35-40 minutes. Remove the cover, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the top begins to brown. Remove from oven and let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Top with fresh greens and sliced green onions. Enjoy!
