Savory Strata Nugget Market signature recipes

Starring a variety of veggies plus buttery croissants and two kinds of cheese, this simple strata is a surefire way to make your morning amazing.

Ingredients

  • ½ pound fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup small-diced onions
  • 3 cups small-diced cremini mushrooms
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream, half and half, or milk
  • 4 ounces grated Swiss cheese
  • ½ cup bias-cut scallions
  • 4 cups large-diced croissants
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the spinach and water and cover with a lid for 1–2 minutes, until just wilted. Remove spinach to a strainer and let cool. When cool enough to handle, press any excess moisture out of the spinach with a towel and reserve.

Heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil, then the onions, and sauté for 5–7 minutes, until caramelized. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5–8 minutes, until all of the moisture has evaporated and mushrooms are beginning to brown. Remove from the pan and reserve.

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Mix eggs, cream, Swiss cheese, and scallions with the diced croissants. Add the wilted spinach and sautéed onions and mushrooms, then toss to combine. 

Spoon mixture into a 10-inch round casserole dish or similarly sized baking dish and top with grated Parmesan. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until strata is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 150°F.
