Calories: 437kcal

Ingredients

2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 cup shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 cup onion chopped
3 tbsp butter
1 ½ lbs ham cut into 1 inch cubes
10 oz frozen spinach thawed and drained
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 loaf French bread cut into 1 inch cubes
2 ½ cup skim milk
9 eggs
½ tsp dry mustard

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the two cheeses and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter and onions. Sauté until onions soften and become translucent.
Add the cubed ham, frozen spinach, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
Grease a 3 quart baking dish with butter and spread one third of the bread on the bottom.
Add about a third of the ham mixture to the top of the bread cubes. Sprinkle a third of the cheese over the ham. Repeat the layers two more times.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the egg mixture over the strata.
At this point, you can cover the dish with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator overnight. When ready to bake the strata, preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake, uncovered, for 40-50 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
