PROSCIUTTO, FETA, AND SPINACH STRATA



Prosciutto, Feta, and Spinach Strata image

Marked vegetarian because it tastes amazing even when you take out the Prosciutto. I LOVE THIS DISH. I have a series of recipes I got out of what I thought would be a useless magazine full of ho-hum recipes that I was given for free at the Check out stand at my local grocery store. The magazine is called "Dan's real food Spring 2008" Turns out, they are some of the best recipes I have ever come upon. This is one of those recipes. By the way, I made this one time on a camping trip inside a dutch oven and it just came out WONDERFULLY. Seriously, one of my favorite recipes ever.

Time 21m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

18 slices firm white bread
8 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
4 ounces grated provolone cheese (mozzarella is fine too)
1/4 cup finely minced green onion
4 ounces fresh spinach
1/2 cup finely julienned basil
5 extra-large eggs
2 cups half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (the recipe says Sriracha, but the system wouldn't let me type it in. I actually use Valentina.)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (salted is fined too. Preferred if not using prosciutto)

Steps:

  • You can assemble the night before so that the layers of bread, cheese and spinach soak up the egg-and-milk base, but it is not necessary.
  • Remove crusts from bread. Spray an 11x7 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Cover bottom of dish with layer of bread.
  • Use half of the prosciutto to cover bread in an even layer. Sprinkle with half of the feta and half of the provolone. Sprinkle with half of the green onions, half spinach, and half basil.
  • Repeat with second layer of bread and the remaining ingredients in the same order.
  • Cut remaining bread into 1/4 inch cubes and scatter evenly on top.
  • Beat together eggs, half-and-half, and hot sauce until well blended. Pour mixture over layers. Press down firmly with a spatula. Melt butter and drizzle over top.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 5 hours (optional).
  • Preheat oven to 375 Farenheit. Uncover dish and bake until golden, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Chop your vegetables, grate your cheese, and thaw your spinach before you start cooking. This will make the assembly process much quicker and easier.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your strata will taste. If possible, use organic eggs, milk, and vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses in your strata. A good combination is feta, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Let the strata rest before serving: After baking, let the strata rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the strata to set.

Conclusion:

Spinach feta strata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of fresh spinach, creamy feta, and fluffy bread, this strata is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or brunch recipe, give spinach feta strata a try. You won't be disappointed!
