Steps:
- Grease a 9-by-13-inch (3-quart) casserole dish with oil.
- Toss the bread cubes with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bread to the skillet, and cook, tossing occasionally, until toasted and golden brown, about 8 minutes. Return the toasted bread to the bowl to cool.
- Wipe out the skillet. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer. Add the mushrooms in one layer (resist the urge to stir right away), and cook until they start to brown, about 3 minutes; stir, then continue to brown for 2 minutes more. Add the garlic, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper, stir continuously for 1 minute, then fold in the spinach and another 1/4 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the spinach is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Place half the bread cubes in the prepared casserole dish, and sprinkle them with half each of the Gruyere and Parmesan. Add the mushroom-spinach mixture in an even layer. Top with the remaining bread cubes, Gruyere and Parmesan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the casserole dish. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours up to overnight. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the casserole until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

CRUNCHY SPINACH CASSEROLE
Another one from grandma's recipe box.... This is from an old newspaper and at the top says "Friendly Gatherings, No matter what is traditional in your family holidays perhaps you might look to a change by trying one of our traditions." Grandma started making this for part of our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner when I was about 8... Once I was old enough to be in the kitchen cooking, about 9, this was always my dish to prepare....

Steps:
- Cook spinach or just thaw it- I usually microwave for several minutes.
- Drain very well.
- Add sour cream and onion soup mix. Mix thoroughly.
- Place in casserole dish.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach wilts quickly, so add it to the casserole at the very end of cooking. You can also use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before adding it.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Overcooked spinach will become mushy and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it is wilted, about 1 minute.
- Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to spinach, you can add other vegetables to this casserole, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini. Just be sure to chop them into small pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Use a creamy sauce: A creamy sauce will help to bind the ingredients together and make the casserole more flavorful. You can use a simple white sauce, or you can add cheese, herbs, or other seasonings to taste.
- Top with a crunchy topping: A crunchy topping will add texture and flavor to the casserole. You can use bread crumbs, crushed crackers, or even nuts.
Conclusion:
Spinach casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it can also be a hearty and satisfying meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a spinach casserole that is sure to please everyone at the table.
