Ingredients

2tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil

2bunchesscallions, thinly sliced

1medium leek, white part only, cleaned well and sliced in thin half-moons

1(16 ounce) packagefrozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

½teaspoonground pepper, divided

¼teaspoonkosher salt, divided

¼teaspooncrushed red pepper

1 ¼poundswhole-wheat sandwich bread (about 16 slices)

1 ½cupscrumbled feta cheese

¾cupgrated Parmesan cheese

10large eggs

3cupsreduced-fat milk

2tablespoonsDijon mustard

Directions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallions and leek; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and browned on the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Add spinach, 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, 1/8 teaspoon salt and crushed red pepper; cook until the water has evaporated, about 2 minutes more.

Lay one-third of the bread in a single layer in the prepared pan. Dot with one-third of the spinach mixture. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup feta and 1/4 cup Parmesan. Repeat the layers twice more with the remaining bread, spinach mixture and cheeses.

Whisk eggs, milk, mustard and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the strata. Gently press down on the top layer of bread to make sure it’s submerged. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 2 days.

When you’re ready to bake, let the strata stand at room temperature for 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F.

Bake the strata until puffed and golden brown and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Let stand for at least 5 minutes before serving.

To make ahead

Prepare through Step 4 and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
