2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 pound breakfast sausage ; casings removed
2 shallots ; chopped
1 honey crisp apple ; chopped into 1/3in pieces
1 10 ounce frozen spinach ; thawed, squeezed dry
8 cups cubed italian bread ; from a 1 pound loaf

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook about 5 minutes, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Add the shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the apple and the spinach and sauté over medium-low heat for another 2 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Place half of the bread cubes in a buttered 3-quart baking dish. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella over the bread, then top with half of the spinach mixture. Repeat layering.

Whisk the milk, cream, eggs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and pour evenly over the strata. Top with the Parmesan cheese. Chill the strata, covered with plastic wrap, at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Bake the strata uncovered until puffed, golden brown, and cooked through, about 50 minutes. A thin knife inserted in the middle of the strata should come out clean. If the top browns too quickly, cover with a sheet of aluminum foil. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
