Cooking Instructions
- In a large non-stick skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat, reserving 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add the diced yellow onion to the skillet and sauté over medium heat for about 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the grated garlic and baby spinach, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, Dijon mustard, fresh thyme leaves, nutmeg, milk, Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Spray a 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Layer one-third of the bread cubes, half of the sautéed spinach mixture, a third of the bacon, and a third of the grated cheeses. Repeat, finishing with the last layer of cheese.
- Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients. Press down gently to ensure the bread is fully soaked. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Before baking, let the strata sit at room temperature for 30 minutes and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake uncovered for 50 to 65 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Let it stand for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
