Spinach Strata Recipe

• 8 ounces day-old crusty bread, such as pain au levain, large dice (about 6 cups)
• 2 cups coarsely chopped baby spinach leaves (about 3 1/2 ounces)
• 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 3 3/4 ounces)

4. Whisk the measured olive oil, lemon zest, mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until combined.
5. Add the eggs and milk and whisk until combined.
6. Very slowly drizzle the mixture over the bread and evenly sprinkle the remaining half of the feta over top.
