How to Make Ham Spinach And Cheese Strata

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Spray a 13x9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. In a 10-inch skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 10 ounces of fresh spinach, 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers, and 1/2 cup chopped leeks.
  5. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. In the prepared baking dish, layer half of the 8 ounces of cooked ham, the spinach mixture, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 4 cups of cubed bread.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread layer.
  9. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of your favorite Italian cheese blend.
  10. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours.
  12. Bake covered for 40 minutes.
  13. Uncover and bake for another 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
