Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 ounces Button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 5 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 8 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 4 cups Day-old bread, cubed

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and the cooked mushroom-spinach mixture.

Step 6

Spread the cubed bread evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, pressing down gently to ensure the bread soaks up the liquid.

Step 7

Let the casserole sit for 5-10 minutes to fully absorb the liquid.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is set in the center. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.

Step 9

Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Spinach and Mushroom Brunch Bake!
