Mushroom And Spinach Strata

Calories:
Author: Courtney ODell

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 large onion diced
  • ½ pound cremini or button mushrooms chopped
  • 4-5 cups fresh spinach about 1 bag
  • 1 loaf sourdough bread sliced (or 1 large sourdough bread bowl, sliced)
  • 1 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 cup goat cheese crumbled (sub another cup grated cheddar if you arent a fan of goat cheese)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk until foamy.
  • Set aside.
  • In a large heavy pan, melt 2 tbsp butter.
  • Add diced onion and mushrooms and brown.
  • When onions and mushrooms are browned, add spinach and wilt until it is cooked down, about 5 minutes. (add a little bit at a time if it overcrowds your pan).
  • Remove from heat.
  • In a well greased 9x13 pan, lay down 3-4 slices sourdough bread to cover bottom of pan. Don't worry if there are small gaps.
  • Layer 1/2 mushroom, onion spinach mix on bread.
  • Add crumbled goat cheese.
  • Add another layer of bread, then another layer of vegetables and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese.
  • Add another layer of bread and top with 1/2 cup cheddar cheese.
  • Slowly pour egg and milk mixture over layers. Make sure the top layer all has a little egg mixture on it.
  • The egg/milk mixture should come almost to the top of your pan. If your bread is particularly dry, you can add a bit more milk and a few more eggs- but if you are within 1/2" of the top layer, you're fine.
  • Cover with plastic wrap or tinfoil and refrigerate overnight.
  • In the morning, bake in a preheated oven at 375 for 45 minutes or until very puffy and golden.
  • Serve immediately- strata will deflate a bit over time.
