Strata

→ SERVES 8 Oil for brushing

Prep Time: Total Time: 15 mins 1 hr 15 mins

6 eggs

2 cups (500 mL) half & half

½ tsp (2 mL) salt

1 loaf (1 lb./450 g) day old sandwich bread (about 12 slices)

1 large red bell pepper

4–6 slices cooked bacon

4 oz. (125 g) sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (1 cup/250 mL)

2 cups (500 mL) loosely packed baby spinach

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C); brush the Rockcrok® Dutch Oven with oil.

2. Whisk the eggs, half & half, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.

3. Cut the bread into 1” (2.5-cm) cubes and add to the eggs. Stir until the bread soaks up the egg mixture. Let it stand for 5–10 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, coarsely chop the bell pepper and bacon. Add the peppers, bacon, cheese, and spinach to the bread mixture; stir until the ingredients are combined. Pour the mixture into the Dutch oven.

5. Bake, uncovered, until the strata has puffed up, and is slightly browned, about 50–60 minutes.
