Breakfast Sausage And Spinach Strata (Emeril Green Recipe)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces turkey sausage, cut into bite size pieces
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 10 ounces Baby Spinach
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
• 8 cups cubed Italian bread, from a 1-pound loaf
• 2 cups grated gruyere cheese
• 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
• 3 cups milk
• 10 large eggs

1. Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and saute, until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausages to a plate. Add the onion to the pan drippings in the same skillet and saute, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the spinach and garlic. Saute, over medium-low heat until the garlic is tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, nutmeg, and the cooked sausages.
2. Place half of the bread cubes in a buttered 3-quart baking dish. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the bread, then top with half of the spinach mixtures. Repeat layering.
3. Whisk the milk, eggs, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a large bowl and pour evenly over the strata. Chill the strata, covered with plastic wrap, at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
5. Bake strata uncovered until puffed, golden brown, and cooked through, about 25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot.
