Categories     Breakfast & Brunch

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound bag chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed as dry as possible
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
3 garlic cloves, minced
12 ounces (¾ pound) Italian sandwich bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 11 slices or 8 cups)
6 ounces (1½ cups) coarsely grated Gruyère
2 ounces (⅔ cup) finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
9 large eggs
2¾ cups half-and-half
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1¾ teaspoons salt
¾ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

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



Prosciutto, Feta, and Spinach Strata image

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.

Time 21m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

18 slices firm white bread
8 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
4 ounces grated provolone cheese (mozzarella is fine too)
1/4 cup finely minced green onion
4 ounces fresh spinach
1/2 cup finely julienned basil
5 extra-large eggs
2 cups half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (the recipe says Sriracha, but the system wouldn't let me type it in. I actually use Valentina.)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (salted is fined too. Preferred if not using prosciutto)

Steps:

  • You can assemble the night before so that the layers of bread, cheese and spinach soak up the egg-and-milk base, but it is not necessary.
  • Remove crusts from bread. Spray an 11x7 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Cover bottom of dish with layer of bread.
  • Use half of the prosciutto to cover bread in an even layer. Sprinkle with half of the feta and half of the provolone. Sprinkle with half of the green onions, half spinach, and half basil.
  • Repeat with second layer of bread and the remaining ingredients in the same order.
  • Cut remaining bread into 1/4 inch cubes and scatter evenly on top.
  • Beat together eggs, half-and-half, and hot sauce until well blended. Pour mixture over layers. Press down firmly with a spatula. Melt butter and drizzle over top.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 5 hours (optional).

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.
