Steps:
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. Add the spinach to the boiling water and blanch for 10 to 20 seconds. Transfer to the ice water to cool for a few minutes, then drain and squeeze out excess water. Chop coarsely.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds, and stir in the artichoke hearts. Stir for a few minutes, until the artichoke hearts are beginning to color, and add the thyme leaves and the spinach. Toss together and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
- Preheat a panini grill. Top four of the bread slices with the artichoke hearts and spinach. Add strips of roasted pepper, then cheese. Top with the remaining bread and press together. Brush the outside of the bread (top and bottom slices) with olive oil. Place in the panini maker and grill for four to five minutes, until the cheese has melted and the bread is toasty.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh spinach and artichokes will give your strata a vibrant taste.
- Don't overcook the spinach. Wilting it for a few minutes is all that's needed to soften it.
- Use a good quality bread. A sturdy bread like French bread or sourdough will hold up well in the strata.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish. The strata should be no more than 2/3 full.
- Bake the strata until it is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
- Let the strata cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Spinach and artichoke strata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. It is also a great way to use up leftover spinach and artichokes. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and vibrant colors, this strata is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
