  • Oven Safe Wire Baking Rack
  • Frying Pan
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Large Bowl
  • Small Bowl
  • Whisk
  • 9 inch Baking Dish
  • Aluminum Foil

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz sourdough bread
  • 6 slices prosciutto
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 red or yellow onion diced
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 cups milk
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 cup parmesan

Instructions
 

  • Dry Out Bead– Preheat oven to 300F. Tear sourdough bread into chunks a little larger than the size of a quarter. Add torn bread to a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, tossing half way through.
  • Crisp Prosciutto– Turn oven heat up to 400F. Place prosciutto slices on an oven safe wire baking rack about an inch apart from each other & bake for 10 minutes until crisp. Allow prosciutto to cool completely, then crumble.
  • Prepare Vegetables– Melt butter in frying pan over medium heat. Add diced onion to pan and sauté for 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and fresh spinach to pan. Cook and stir until spinach has wilted.
  • Combine & Chill– In a small bowl whisk together mustard, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. In a large bowl combine dried bread, vegetable mixture, crispy prosciutto, and 3/4 cup Parmesan. Pour milk & egg mixture over everything, toss to combine. Add everything to a 9 inch baking dish, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (but up to 18).
  • Bake– When ready to cook, preheat oven to 375F. Remove plastic wrap and top strata with remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake 25-30 minutes uncovered. Remove from oven, cover with aluminum foil, and continue baking 35-40 minutes
