Ingredients
Scale
- About 2 cups of cubed old bread
- 1 small onion, peeled & chopped (about 2/3 cup)
- 2 – 3 cloves garlic, peeled & chopped
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Red Robin seasoning
- 1/2 cup shredded Italian blend of cheeses
- 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed
- 2 precooked low-fat chicken sausages (any flavor)
For the top: about 1/3 cup more shredded Italian cheeses
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and spray a small casserole dish or 9x9x2 inch square dish with cooking spray.
- Cut the bread into cubes and set it on a baking sheet. Set it in the oven to toast for 5 minutes or so. Remove from oven.
- Preheat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, onion and garlic and saute until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze some of the excess moisture from the thawed spinach.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, buttermilk, eggs, seasonings, and cheeses. Add the bread cubes and toss to coat them all with the milk mixture. Let soak for at least 15 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes or so to make sure all the bread cubes get a turn in the milk bath, then stir the onion/garlic mixture, the spinach and shredded cheese into the mixture.
- Chop the sausages into slices, then cut each slice in halves or quarters. Stir the sausage into the bread mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole pan and top with additional cheese. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes or until the strata is set in the middle.
