How to Make Giada's Spinach And Pancetta Strata Yummy

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 3-quart baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced pancetta and cook until crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove pancetta with a slotted spoon, reserving about 2 tablespoons of rendered fat in the skillet.
  3. Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute more.
  4. Stir in chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and nutmeg.
  5. Stir in the cooked pancetta.
  6. In the prepared baking dish, layer half of the bread cubes, half of the cheese, and half of the spinach mixture.
  7. Repeat layers.
  8. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  9. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the strata.
  10. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours, or up to 12 hours.
  11. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until puffed, golden brown, and cooked through.
  12. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
