Time 9h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ½ cups finely chopped yellow onion
3 pinches herbes de Provence, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
butter-flavored cooking spray
8 cups cubed Italian bread

  • PREPARE PANS: Butter or spray with oil one 9x13 inch (3 quart) dish or two 8x8 (2 quart) pans.
  • PREPARE FILLINGS: Choose 2-3 options. For vegetarian strata, I use spinach, onions, mushrooms. For meat-based, I use sausage, onions, spinach. Spinach: Defrost and squeeze water out using hands or paper towels. Get as much water out as possible. Onions: Dice or process onion. Saute in 2 teaspoons oil on medium until translucent (or cook 25-30 minutes, stirring, to caramelize, adding 1/2 teaspoon sugar to speed up caramelization). Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Mushroooms: Saute in butter or oil for 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and garlic powder. Sausage: Pan fry or grill until no longer pink. Cut into small pieces. Or remove from casings and saute ground sausage until cooked. Bacon: Fry or microwave. Or bake at 400F for 18-20 minutes. Crumble. Green Onions or Ham: Chop. No need to cook.
  • PREPARE CORE INGREDIENTS: Cut bread (with or without crusts) into 1 inch cubes. Measure 8 cups packed. Place in large bowl. In separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and all seasonings. Grate cheeses.
  • ASSEMBLE AND REFRIGERATE: Add to large bowl with bread: the egg-milk-seasoning mixture; the vegetable filling; and cheeses (reserving 1/2 cup cheese to sprinkle on top). Mix lightly to combine well. Pour into prepared pan(s). Sprinkle on remaining cheese. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (1 hour is better) or overnight.

  • Start With a Buttered Baking Dish, and Fill it With Bread. Choose an oven-proof baking dish that's about the right size to feed however many people you're planning on serving.
  • Use half the volume of milk and eggs as bread. A mixture of equal parts eggs and milk is what forms the quiche-like filling of the strata. Whatever volume the bread yielded, use half of that measurement for your milk as well as your eggs.
  • Flavor your liquid base. Season your egg and milk mixture with some salt and pepper and whatever else you want it to taste like: a spoonful of mustard, a splash of hot sauce, a pinch of paprika, or a whisper of nutmeg.
  • Use About the Same Volume of Shredded Cheese as Milk. You need some cheese in there to get everything cheesy and delicious, right? Your strata can hold up to equal parts cheese as milk and eggs.
  • Add Some Extras. If you want your strata to have more going on in it than eggs and cheese (you might not), you can add up to equal parts add-ins as cheese.
  • Assemble your Strata, and Let it Sit. Pour the milk and egg mixture over the top over the mix of bread, cheese, and add-ins. Press the bread down with your hands to make sure it's covered in liquid.
  • Bake your Strata. Before you bake it, cover your strata tightly with foil, and bake it for about 20 minutes at 350°F. Open up the oven, uncover the strata, and continue baking until the cheese is melted on top and the egg custard is set, 15 to 30 minutes more depending on the depth of your strata.

  • Fluffy Strata. A simple breakfast casserole is one every chef has on hand. This easy and delicious strata is sure to bring smiles to the table. Combine ingredients in a casserole dish and refrigerate overnight before baking.
  • Spinach and Cheese Strata. If you like warm spinach dip, this strata is for you! With loads of cheese, spinach, and bread all in one dish, it certainly hits the spot.
  • Cheese and Bacon Strata Cake. If the name doesn’t sway you, I’m not sure what else to say! Savory breakfast cake loaded with cheese and bacon is the new quiche.
  • Kale, Swiss, and Mushroom Strata. This recipe has so much flavor and is loaded with veggies for clean eaters. As the name suggests, you add ample amounts of mushrooms, kale, and swiss cheese.
  • Garlic and Steak Strata. After growing up with steak and eggs being a bougie breakfast, this strata has my heart. Of course, you can’t go wrong with loads of lean protein, but bread doesn’t hurt!
  • Chicken and Spinach Strata. Chicken doesn’t often find its way to the breakfast table, but when it does *chefs kiss*. I suppose you could also serve this dish at dinner because it’s delicious all day long.

  • Cheesy Tomato Egg Strata. Maybe it’s the Midwesterner in me, but this strata has some serious tomato pie vibes. Layers of bread, tomato, and cheese soak up the egg for a tasty, savory casserole.
