Caramelized Onion, Spinach and Gruyere Strata with Sauteed Cherry Tomatoes image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 cups cubed day-old French bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 large Spanish onions, halved and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 10-ounce box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
10 large eggs
3 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups grated aged Gruyere cheese (about 8 ounces)
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
For the tomatoes:
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 pints cherry tomatoes
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put the bread on a baking sheet and toast until lightly golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter and canola oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onions and toss to coat, then add the sugar and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, combine the toasted bread, caramelized onions and spinach. In another large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, heavy cream, 1 1/2 cups cheese, the mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the thyme and nutmeg. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add the bread mixture to the baking dish, then pour the egg mixture over the bread and press down to make sure it is totally submerged.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake the strata, uncovered, until it is golden brown on top, puffed slightly and doesn't shimmy with uncooked custard when you shake the pan, 50 minutes to 1 hour; sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the tomatoes: Heat the canola oil in a large saute pan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the cherry tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chives and remove from the heat. Serve the strata with the sauteed tomatoes.

SAUTÉED GREEN BEANS AND CHERRY TOMATOES



SAUTÉED GREEN BEANS AND CHERRY TOMATOES image

Categories     Bean     Side     Sauté

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups (16 oz) green beans, trimmed
2 T unsalted butter
1 shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp lemon juice
1 T dry white wine
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 T tarragon chopped (I use dry)
To taste salt & pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Trim the stems from the beans; cook in boiling salted water for approx. 6-8 mins. until tender. Shock the beans in ice water and drain. Chill until needed. 2. Heat the butter; add the shallot and garlic and cook 2 mins. Add the lemon juice and wine, and cook 1 min more or until almost dry. 3. Add the beans; season and cook 2 mins. 4. Add the cherry tomatoes and tarragon. Cook 2 mins or just long enough to heat the tomatoes. 5. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful cherry tomatoes: The quality and flavor of your tomatoes will greatly impact the final result, so it's essential to use the best quality tomatoes you can find. Look for ripe, firm, and brightly colored tomatoes with no blemishes or bruises.
  • Use a large skillet to prevent overcrowding: Overcrowding the pan will result in steamed tomatoes instead of sautéed tomatoes. Use a skillet that is large enough to accommodate the tomatoes in a single layer.
  • Cook the tomatoes over medium-high heat: This will help to quickly caramelize the sugars in the tomatoes and create a delicious flavor.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes: Sautéing the tomatoes for too long will make them mushy. Cook them just until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the tomatoes.
  • Add fresh herbs or spices for extra flavor: If you like, you can add fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or thyme to the tomatoes while they are cooking. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes or garlic powder for a little extra spice.

Conclusion:

Sautéed cherry tomatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, appetizer, or even as a main course. They are easy to make and can be ready in just a few minutes.
