This is a great option for a vegetarian dinner; the eggs, cheese, and milk provide plenty of protein.

Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add spinach and cook, stirring constantly, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a colander and drain, pressing with a rubber spatula to release as much liquid as possible. Divide bread and spinach among 4 small, shallow 8-ounce baking dishes.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and 3/4 cup cheese. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Divide mixture evenly among baking dishes and top with 1/2 cup cheese. Set dishes on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until set in middle and golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.

Cook's Notes

The strata can be assembled and refrigerated for up to 6 hours. You can also make it in an 8-inch square baking dish; cook for 35 minutes.

Super easy and delicious! I added some additional spices to the egg mix, because this is a great recipe to change up to your liking. I'll definitely be making this again!

Love this! I added a little dill weed and nutmeg to boost the flavor. Those 2 spices are wonderful with spinach. I may add red pepper flakes next time.

extremely bland. note that those who say it's good added garlic. that would help a lot i'm sure. but as written, it has no flavor.

This is really good. I add garlic and broccoli for the crunch and texture. Next time, I'll substitute the spinach with kale. Make sure you use a shallow dish when baking; deep dishes take a really long time to cook.

This was so easy and very good. I baked it all in one 8x8 casserole dish at 400 for 35-40 minutes

Very yummy and easy. I sauteed the spinach with garlic. Also didn't have day old bread so made it with fresh bread but toasted it a bit. Also made it in large dish and still worked. Loved it.

I made this tonight and both my partner and I loved it. For the bread, I used a crusty loaf of rosemary potato bread. I also added garlic when saut?ɬ

Not a favorite of mine. The flavor was probably fine, but the texture really turned me off. I think it may have been my choice in bread. Left a weird feeling on my tongue. I used Dubliner for the cheese. Will not make again!
