1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

   In a large skillet, cook the chorizo sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

4. 4

   In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, layer half of the bread, followed by half of the egg mixture and half of the sweet potatoes.

7. 7

   Repeat the layers, ending with the remaining sweet potatoes on top.

8. 8

   Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the strata and sprinkle with additional shredded cheese if desired.

9. 9

   Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the strata is golden brown and set.

10. 10

    Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

💡 Pro Tips

To avoid a soggy strata, make sure to dry the bread thoroughly before layering. Also, don't overmix the egg mixture, as this can cause the strata to become dense. If using leftover sweet potatoes, let them cool completely before using in the recipe.
