Kitchen Strata

• 3 whole eggs
• 5 egg yolks
• 1 pint whole milk
• 1 pint heavy cream
• 1 1/2 lb sausage meat (out of casing)
• 8 slices of rustic white bread
• 1 1/2 cup gruyere cheese-- grated
• 2 hand full fresh spinach
• Salt and pepper.
• Large gratin dish

1. Take the sausage meat and cook in a saute pan until cooked.
2. Mix together eggs, yolks, cream and milk in a bowl. Season with a little salt and pepper. Next, take the gratin dish and start to layer the bread, sausage, spinach and cheese (like you would for lasagna), keeping some cheese for sprinkling over the top.
3. When you have layered every thing together, pour over the custard and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Leave to stand for at least one hour or over night.
4. Cover with foil and bake in 350u0b0 oven for about 1 hour. Check to see that the center is cooked and the custard is set.
5. Just before serving, put the strata under a broiler until brown. Watch closely so that it does not burn.
