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.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: Spinach and mushrooms are the stars of this dish, so make sure they are fresh and of good quality. Look for spinach with vibrant green leaves and mushrooms that are firm and not slimy.
  • Prep Work: Before you start cooking, take the time to properly clean and slice the mushrooms and spinach. This will help ensure an even and flavorful distribution throughout the casserole.
  • Use a Variety of Mushrooms: Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms. Each variety offers unique flavors and textures that can enhance the overall dish.
  • Don't Overcook the Spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will become wilted and lose its vibrant color and nutrients.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the casserole before serving and adjust the seasoning accordingly. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or grated Parmesan cheese to suit your preferences.

This creamy spinach and mushroom casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish.
