PROSCIUTTO, EGG AND SPINACH STRATA
This egg spinach strata recipe is one of my favorite things to make for Mother's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas morning! It's a wonderful savory dish that incorporates elements of the cuisine I grew up enjoying. Plus, you can prepare it the night before and just throw it in the oven in the morning. -Danielle Pfanstiehl, Andover, Connecticut

PROSCIUTTO AND GOAT CHEESE STRATA
This is great for brunch. Serve with fresh melon & berries. Recipe courtesy of my GF on the east coast and epicurious.com This will likely serve more than 6-9, depending on how large you cut the servings. Recipe can easily be halved in an 8x8 baking dish. Cooking time = bringing to room temperature before cooking & cooking time. Please note: The first time I made this, I sliced my bread thick and only had room in my baking dish for one layer, then I topped it with the cubed bread. It turned out beautifully. The 2nd time I made this, I had the bakery slice the bread and was able to fit 2 layers in the baking dish. I also topped the strata with Recipe #496356 and I have to say, that put this recipe over the top! Try it, you'll love it too.

CHEESE STRATA
This is an easy breakfast dish-great to make ahead for rushed mornings as it can be refrigerated overnight. Almost any chopped vegetable or meat can be added; just add before the cheese layer. If you're feeding a crowd, just double and use a 9x13 pan. This is adapted from a Mennonite cookbook, More-with-Less.

SPINACH AND CHEESE STRATA
I adopted this recipe. Don't let the length of the recipe scare you. It is really a very simple dish to prepare with excellent flavors. The gruyere adds a lot of flavor to this savory dish.

PROSCIUTTO, FETA, AND SPINACH STRATA
Marked vegetarian because it tastes amazing even when you take out the Prosciutto. I LOVE THIS DISH. I have a series of recipes I got out of what I thought would be a useless magazine full of ho-hum recipes that I was given for free at the Check out stand at my local grocery store. The magazine is called "Dan's real food Spring 2008" Turns out, they are some of the best recipes I have ever come upon. This is one of those recipes. By the way, I made this one time on a camping trip inside a dutch oven and it just came out WONDERFULLY. Seriously, one of my favorite recipes ever.

MAKE-AHEAD CHEESY SPINACH AND EGG STRATA
If you are a spinach lover, then you will have to try this recipe! I have made this many times to serve at a brunch get together (I always make two of these to serve at a brunch!) Plan ahead this dish needs to chill for a minimum of 8 hours or up to 24 hours or until the custard is absorbed in the bread. You can really use any cheese that you wish I find that either asiago or Gruyere are the best! If you don't want a strong spinach taste then use only one box of frozen spinach. To save time make the spinach/mushroom filling up to 1 day in advance and refrigerate, just warm slightly in the microwave before layering in the strata. You will LOVE this!
