When I have a hungry crowd to feed and I’m in the mood for something savory in the morning, a hearty breakfast casserole is the answer. This spinach, feta, and sun-dried tomato strata is a total winner—it’s packed with Mediterranean-inspired flavors that’ll make you feel like you’re waking up on a sunny Greek island. My favorite part is that I can whip it up the night before, so all I have to do in the morning is pop it in the oven. It’s perfect for days when you want something special without the fuss. If you’re looking for something to please meat lovers, my sausage breakfast casserole is a tried-and-true favorite. And for those with a sweet tooth, you can't go wrong with a cinnamon roll breakfast casserole or a dreamy baked French toast. Breakfast just got a whole lot more exciting!

Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp.
olive oil, plus more for the pan
- 1
small onion, chopped
- 1
(10-ounce) bag frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1
garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup
sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped, plus 1 tablespoon oil from the jar
- 1 1/2 tsp.
kosher salt, divided
- 1 tsp.
black pepper, divided
- 6
packed cups torn baguette or Italian bread (about 12 ounces)
- 2 cups
shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3/4 cup
crumbled feta cheese
- 10
large eggs
- 3 cups
whole milk
Directions
- Step 1Lightly oil the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened and golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the spinach, garlic, and sun-dried tomato oil. Cook, stirring, until the spinach is dry and combined with the onion, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Step 2Spread half of the bread pieces in the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the spinach mixture, then half of each the mozzarella and feta. Repeat the layers. Whisk together the eggs, milk, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until combined. Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish and gently press down on the bread to submerge it. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
- Step 3When you’re ready to bake the strata, preheat the oven to 325˚F. Remove the dish from the refrigerator and uncover. Bake until the strata is puffed all over and set, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes. Let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
