recipe

  • Step 1
    Clean & slice the mushrooms thinly.
  • Step 2
    Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms & season with salt & pepper. Stir frequently & cook for 8-10 min, until the mushrooms begin to brown.
  • Step 3
    Meanwhile, tear the bread into bite-sized pieces. Day-old or stale bread works best for this!
  • Step 4
    When the mushrooms are nicely browned, add the spinach. Cook until the spinach is thawed (or wilted if using fresh spinach).
  • Step 5
    In a mixing bowl, add the eggs & cream. Season with salt & pepper & whisk until fully combined.
  • Step 6
    Add a drizzle of olive oil in the bottom of a baking dish. Add half of the bread & top with half of the mushrooms & spinach. Next, add half of the egg mixture, then half of the cheese. Repeat this step with the remaining ingredients, topping with the cheese last. Cover the strata & refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
  • Step 7
    Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Remove the strata from the fridge, uncover, & place in the oven. Bake for about 20 min or until the egg is set & the cheese is melted & bubbly. Cut the strata, season with additional salt & pepper if desired. Serve & enjoy!
