How to Make Spinach Bacon And Cheese Strata
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
- Add 4 slices of bacon, chopped, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes.
- Add 1/2 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add 5 ounces of fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Remove bacon and vegetable mixture from the pan and set aside.
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- Off heat, lightly coat the skillet with cooking spray.
- Arrange 6 slices of bread tightly in the bottom of the skillet to form a crust.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/4 cup egg beaters, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring it soaks in completely. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese over the bread.
- Place the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, shaking the pan frequently, until the bottom is set and the edges are lightly golden, about 4-5 minutes.
- Place the skillet under the preheated broiler for 2 minutes to set the top of the egg mixture.
- Remove skillet from broiler.
- Top with the bacon-vegetable mixture, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese.
- Place the skillet under the broiler again until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 1-2 minutes.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Slice into 6 pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy!
