Let's Get Started
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, cooked spinach, and shredded Gruyere cheese.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring all the bread is coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Cover the dish with foil and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight to allow the bread to soak up the egg mixture.
- Bake the strata, covered, for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
