Directions
Make-Ahead Cheesy Spinach and Egg Strata, If you are a spinach lover, then you will have to try this recipe! I have made this many times to serve at a brunch get together (I always make two of these to serve at a brunch!) Plan ahead this dish needs to chill for a minimum of 8 hours or up to 24 hours or until the custard is absorbed in the bread You can really use any cheese that you wish I find that either asiago or Gruyere are the best! If you don’t want a strong spinach taste then use only one box of frozen spinach To save time make the spinach/mushroom filling up to 1 day in advance and refrigerate, just warm slightly in the microwave before layering in the strata You will LOVE this!, We fixed this for Christmas morning Being able to put it together the day before was a great bonus It was delicious! Everyone loved it It is rich, so nobody went back for seconds We froze the leftovers, and they warmed up just fine We used the recipe exactly as it was written and wouldn’t change a thing Thank you very much for sharing it, Kittencal , This was really good to me, but my son didn’t like it, so making it 3 stars
