Spinach and Cheddar Strata

The original recipe says this serves 4, but I'd say that's a bit of a stretch.  But it was an incredibly easy to make recipe that took almost no time at all.  Serve it with a salad or appetizers to make a full meal.

(Feel free to play around with the ingredients and make your own strata - like I did with my leftover stuffing from the Five-Cheese "Kalezones".)


Spinach and Cheddar Strata


Ingredients


1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
10 ounces spinach
3 cups day-old bread cubes (1 inch)
5 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup whole milk
1 1/4 cups grated sharp white cheddar (3 ounces)
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add spinach and cook, stirring constantly, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a colander and drain, pressing with a rubber spatula to release as much liquid as possible. Divide bread and spinach among four small, shallow 8-ounce baking dishes.

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and 3/4 cup cheese. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Divide mixture evenly among baking dishes and top with 1/2 cup cheese. Set dishes on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until set in middle and golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
