Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and drained spinach and cook 2 minutes more. Set aside.
- Butter a 3-quart or 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread one third of the bread cubes in the dish and top evenly with one third of spinach mixture. (Try to break it up as much as possible so there are no huge clumps of spinach.) Sprinkle with one third of each cheese. Repeat layering twice, ending with cheeses.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the half-and-half, mustard, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and whisk until well combined. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the strata. Cover the strata with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Bake the strata, uncovered, until puffed, set and golden brown all over top, 70-80 minutes. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving. It will settle a bit as it cools.
- Note: The cook time is based on the strata going immediately from the fridge to the oven. If it sits out at room temperature before baking, the cook time will be about 10 minutes less.

SAVORY SPINACH AND CHEESE BREAD PUDDING
Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 F.
- Cut the bread into 1-inch chunks and spread on a baking sheet.
- Put in the oven for about 10 minutes-you're just drying it out a bit, you don't want to toast it. Let the bread cool.
- If needed, rinse the spinach to remove any dirt or grit. Lift out of the water and drain in a colander or salad spinner.
- Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the garlic or shallot. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small frying pan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the garlic or shallot and cook, stirring, until softened and gently fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Add the cleaned spinach and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted , has released its liquid, and that liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Lightly beat or whisk. Add the milk and whisk to combine thoroughly. Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Set aside.
- Grate the cheese and set aside.
- Use the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to coat a large (9 x 13) baking dish. Add the bread cubes to the dish. Arrange the cooked spinach mixture in and on the bread cubes. Sprinkle the cheese all over the bread and spinach.
- Pour in the egg-milk mixture; it should cover everything. If any bread cubes poke out, push them down into the liquid. Let the entire thing sit for at least 30 minutes (make ahead tip: cover and chill up to overnight; let it sit out for about 30 minutes before baking to take off the chill). Letting it all sit allows the bread time to soak up the egg-milk mixture, which will lead to a much better final texture than if you bake it right away.
- Bake until just a tiny bit jiggly in the center, but basically set everywhere else and browned along the edge, about 35 minutes. If it's still jiggly and getting too browned on top, cover with foil to cook a bit more.
- Let sit at least 10 minutes and up to 30 before cutting into pieces to serve.
- Serve hot or warm.

MIDWESTERN SPINACH & CHEESE SAVOURY BREAD PUDDING
I got this recipe yesterday from a recipe group and made it last night. The original recipe called for Jack cheese (and only half the amount), low fat milk, no garlic or onion or Parmesan and used white bread. I played with it and this is what I came up with. It turned out quite nicely as a side dish to Lamb chops but I imagine it would also make a lovely vegetarian main dish served with a salad on the side.

SAVORY BREAD PUDDING WITH SPINACH AND MUSHROOMS
From Eating Well- just sooo good! The orginal recipe was baked in a water bath, but I chose to skip that part-- I like the edges to get a little crunchy. If you want a softer option, bake the 8X8 pan in a 9X13 pan that has about 2-3 cups of water in it.

SPINACH AND TASSO BREAD PUDDING WITH GRUYERE CHEESE
This is a "stuffed" savory bread pudding that's perfect for a Sunday brunch. Rather than just jumble everything together, you do it in three layers -- bottom layer of dried or stale French bread, a layer of spinach, tasso and cheese, and more bread on top. It's easy to prepare the day before, so all you have to do on Sunday morning is pop it in the oven. Recipe by Chef Chuck Taggert.

Steps:
- Slice the bread into 1/2" slices and let dry out overnight.
- You may also dry them in a 200-225°F oven for about 30-40 minutes until they're completely dried; make sure you don't brown them.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large heavy skillet (don't use non-stick).
- Add the diced tasso.
- Brown the tasso for 5 minutes until some of the fat has been rendered out and you've got some nice brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from pan, drain on papertowels and set aside.
- Add the wine to the pan, making sure to scrape up all the browned bits.
- Reduce the wine by half.
- Pour out into a large bowl and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter with the rest of the olive oil.
- Add the onions and garlic.
- Sauté for about 3 minutes, until onions are translucent.
- Add the spinach water and let it reduce.
- Add the chopped spinach.
- Continue to cook for 3 minutes, making sure that there's hardly any moisture left.
- Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Whisk the eggs in a large bowl.
- Add the half-and-half.
- Add the molasses, Worcestershire, hot sauce, the reduced wine, about 2 teaspoons of salt, plenty of fresh ground black pepper and Creole seasoning to taste.
- Butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13 baking dish.
- Make one layer of dried bread slices on the bottom.
- Use little broken-off pieces if you need to fill any little spaces.
- Cover the bread evenly with the spinach mixture.
- Sprinkle evenly with 1/3 of the grated cheese.
- Spread the diced tasso evenly over the cheese.
- Season with more Creole seasoning and pepper.
- Sprinkle with more cheese.
- Add a second layer of bread,filling the holes with broken pieces as needed.
- Give the custard a final mix with the whisk and pour evenly over the entire surface of the bread, making sure you wet everything.
- Season the top with more black pepper and Creole seasoning, the remaining cheese and a sprinkling of salt.
- Wrap the pudding in plastic wrap.
- Weigh the top down with a couple of boxes of brown sugar, a bag or rice or whatever you have available.
- This helps compress the layers of the pudding so that the custard will soak all the way through allowing it to cook more evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- When ready to cook,take the pudding out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 325-350°F for about one hour, until the edges and center are puffy.
- Let the pudding cool for about 5 minutes.
- Slice and serve.
