Ingredients
- 1 whole french baguette, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 bunch spinach, chopped
- 6 oz goat cheese, crumbled
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the french baguette cubes, cherry tomatoes, spinach, and crumbled goat cheese. Gently fold the mixture to ensure even distribution.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and vegetable mixture in the baking dish, ensuring all the bread cubes are soaked.
- Let the strata sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the strata is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into squares.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top of the strata just before serving.
