Ingredients

1 ¼ cups whole milk
5 large eggs
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup sliced green onions
1 12-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
6 cups 1-inch cubed challah bread
¾ cup shredded Swiss cheese, divided
¾ cup shredded Gruyere cheese, divided
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, Dijon and nutmeg; season with salt and pepper, to taste; set aside.
Melt butter in a 12-inch oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Stir garlic, green onions and spinach until heated through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir in bread cubes and gently toss to combine. Pour milk mixture evenly over the top. Stir in 1/2 cup Swiss, 1/2 cup Gruyere, and 2 tablespoons Parmesan.
Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove strata from the refrigerator, let sit for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Swiss, 1/4 cup Gruyere and 2 tablespoons Parmesan.
Place into oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until puffed, golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately.
