Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more for greasing the baking dish
- 3 cups chopped spinach, packed
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound about 6 cups crusty bread, cut into large cubes
- 4 ounces chevre cheese
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 3 large roasted red peppers, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 3 ounces prosciutto, torn to bite-size pieces
- 4 scallions or chives, chopped
- 8 eggs
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish with a little olive oil. Place it on a baking sheet.
- In a large skillet set over medium heat, add 2 teaspoons of olive oil. When it shimmers add the garlic, saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the spinach and stir until wilted and most of the moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and turn off the burner.
- Arrange the bread cubes in a single layer on the bottom of the pan. Layer on 1/3 of the cheeses, roasted red pepper, spinach, prosciutto, and scallions. Top with more bread and repeat the layering process until the ingredients are used up.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour it over the layered bread in the baking dish.
- Transfer it to the oven to bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the strata is puffed up and slightly golden on the top.
Notes
- For this recipe I use about 3/4 of a large round loaf of bread.
- Use 2% instead of whole milk if that’s what you have on hand.
- Skip the prosciutto to make this vegetarian.
- If you’re not into chevre then swap it for mozzarella.
