Time 7h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing the dish
8 cups rustic Italian bread, crust removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced (about 4 cups)
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 ounces fresh baby spinach (about 5 cups)
4 ounces Gruyere, shredded on the large holes of a box grater (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
8 large eggs
2 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Grease a 9-by-13-inch (3-quart) casserole dish with oil.
  • Toss the bread cubes with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bread to the skillet, and cook, tossing occasionally, until toasted and golden brown, about 8 minutes. Return the toasted bread to the bowl to cool.
  • Wipe out the skillet. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer. Add the mushrooms in one layer (resist the urge to stir right away), and cook until they start to brown, about 3 minutes; stir, then continue to brown for 2 minutes more. Add the garlic, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper, stir continuously for 1 minute, then fold in the spinach and another 1/4 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the spinach is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Place half the bread cubes in the prepared casserole dish, and sprinkle them with half each of the Gruyere and Parmesan. Add the mushroom-spinach mixture in an even layer. Top with the remaining bread cubes, Gruyere and Parmesan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the casserole dish. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours up to overnight. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the casserole until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 eggs (slightly beaten)
3 cups milk
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
6 cups soft bread cubes
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
1/2 cup green onion (thinly sliced)
1 lb ham (cut into cubes, or cooked sausage)
1 1/2 cups fresh spinach (drained well and sliced into small pieces)
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (if using canned, drain very well)
fresh tomato (optional-for color)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine eggs, milk, mustard, and salt; stir well.
  • Spread 1/2 of bread cubes evenly in the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan.
  • Sprinkle with 1/2 of veggies, ham, and cheese over bread.
  • Repeat layering using the remainder of the ingredients(not eggs yet).
  • Now- pour egg mixture slowly and evenly over casserole
  • Bake for 55-60 minutes or until your eggs are set.
  • Serve with a fruit salad for a beautiful brunch!

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach provides the best flavor and texture for this casserole. If using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw and drain it thoroughly before using.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its vibrant green color. Cook it just until it is wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: The combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses gives this casserole a rich and flavorful cheesy texture. You can use all one type of cheese if you prefer, but the blend of cheeses is highly recommended.
  • Don't overmix the egg mixture: Overmixing the egg mixture will make the casserole tough. Stir just until the eggs are combined.
  • Bake the casserole until it is set: The casserole is done baking when it is set in the center. This should take about 30-35 minutes.

Conclusion:

This easy spinach breakfast casserole is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. It is packed with protein, vegetables, and healthy fats. The casserole is also easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. Simply assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, just pop it in the oven and bake it. You'll have a hot and delicious breakfast casserole that the whole family will love.
