SPINACH AND CHEESE STRATA
I adopted this recipe. Don't let the length of the recipe scare you. It is really a very simple dish to prepare with excellent flavors. The gruyere adds a lot of flavor to this savory dish.

Steps:
- Squeeze handfuls of spinach to remove as much liquid as possible, then finely chop.
- Cook onion in butter in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until soft, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and nutmeg and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
- Stir in spinach, then remove from heat.
- Spread one third of bread cubes in a buttered 3-quart gratin dish or other shallow ceramic baking dish and top evenly with one third of spinach mixture.
- Sprinkle with one third of each cheese.
- Repeat layering twice (ending with cheeses).
- Whisk together milk, eggs, mustard, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and pour evenly over strata.
- Chill strata, covered with plastic wrap, at least 8 hours (for bread to absorb custard).
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Let strata stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
- Bake strata, uncovered, in middle of oven until puffed, golden brown, and cooked through, 45 to 55 minutes.
- Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
- note: Strata can be chilled up to 1 day.
- Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before baking.
