Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and drained spinach and cook 2 minutes more. Set aside.
- Butter a 3-quart or 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread one third of the bread cubes in the dish and top evenly with one third of spinach mixture. (Try to break it up as much as possible so there are no huge clumps of spinach.) Sprinkle with one third of each cheese. Repeat layering twice, ending with cheeses.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the half-and-half, mustard, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and whisk until well combined. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the strata. Cover the strata with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Bake the strata, uncovered, until puffed, set and golden brown all over top, 70-80 minutes. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving. It will settle a bit as it cools.
- Note: The cook time is based on the strata going immediately from the fridge to the oven. If it sits out at room temperature before baking, the cook time will be about 10 minutes less.

PROSCIUTTO, FETA, AND SPINACH STRATA
Marked vegetarian because it tastes amazing even when you take out the Prosciutto. I LOVE THIS DISH. I have a series of recipes I got out of what I thought would be a useless magazine full of ho-hum recipes that I was given for free at the Check out stand at my local grocery store. The magazine is called "Dan's real food Spring 2008" Turns out, they are some of the best recipes I have ever come upon. This is one of those recipes. By the way, I made this one time on a camping trip inside a dutch oven and it just came out WONDERFULLY. Seriously, one of my favorite recipes ever.

PROSCIUTTO FETA CHEESE STRATA
A lovely Greek-style breakfast, lunch or brunch dish from the Rockledge Inn in Colorado. While it is very easy to prepare, it does need to be assembled the night before, refrigerated overnight and then allowed to sit at room temperature before baking for an hour, so prep time includes 8 hours in the fridge and half an hour sitting time.

Tips:
- Plan Ahead: You can prepare the strata mixture and assemble the casserole the night before. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Then, bake it in the morning for a quick and easy breakfast or brunch.
- Choose Fresh Spinach: For the best flavor, use fresh baby spinach. Wilted or frozen spinach will not work as well in this recipe.
- Use High-Quality Prosciutto: The quality of the prosciutto will impact the overall flavor of the strata. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a rich, smoky flavor.
- Don't Overcook the Eggs: The strata should be cooked until the eggs are just set. Overcooking will make the eggs rubbery.
- Serve Warm: Serve the strata warm for the best flavor. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave if necessary.
