Recipe type: Brunch
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup finely chopped brown onion
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8-9 ounces fresh spinach
  • 8 ounces roasted red peppers, sliced
  • 14 ounces artichoke hearts, diced
  • 8 cups cubed sourdough bread (I used one whole loaf)
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2¼ cups Florida Milk
  • ½ pound Brie cheese
Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Add the onions, garlic, and a dash of salt and pepper: cook until softened, about 5-6 minutes.
  2. Stir in the fresh spinach. Allow it to wilt (3-4 minutes), then remove from heat and set aside. Toss the red peppers and artichokes and stir to combine.
  3. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a large bowl. Add a dash of salt and pepper.
  4. Next, layer half of the bread in a greased casserole dish (I used a 9"x13" pan). Scatter half of the vegetable mix on top of the bread. Add half of the Brie cheese, then pour half of the egg and milk mixture over the top of the dish. Repeat for the second half.
  5. Cover the dish and store in the refrigerator for a few hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. Before baking, remove the dish from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the strata uncovered for about 45 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to stand for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
