How to Make Spinach Roasted Pepper And Cheese Strata
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small sauté pan over medium-low heat.
- Add 1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced, a generous pinch of salt, and several grinds of fresh black pepper.
- Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until onions are deeply caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, quarter, stem, and seed 1 large bell pepper (any color). Remove any white pith.
- Place pepper quarters skin-side up on a baking sheet. Broil for 5-7 minutes, or until skin is charred.
- Transfer peppers to a bowl, cover with a plate, and let cool slightly.
- Once cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin and dice the pepper.
- Squeeze excess water from 10 ounces (280g) thawed spinach.
- In a large bowl, combine spinach, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, caramelized onion, diced roasted pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the collected pepper juices. Mix well.
- Gently stir in 4 ounces (115g) crumbled feta cheese.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional), and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Spray a large (approximately 9x13 inch) deep-lidded casserole dish with cooking spray. Spray the lid as well.
- Spread half of 6 cups (140g) cubed day-old bread evenly across the bottom of the casserole dish.
- Arrange the spinach mixture over the bread, spreading it to the edges.
- Top with 1 1/2 cups (150g) shredded cheddar cheese and the remaining bread cubes.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the strata, moving in concentric circles.
- Cover the strata and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the covered strata for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and continue baking for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
