For more delicious strata recipes, also try our vegetarian cheese strata or breakfast strata with olives and chorizo. Strata is the ultimate savory make-ahead breakfast for slow mornings, simple gatherings, and special occasions. It’s a no-fuss dish you can prepare the night before so all you have to do is pop it in the oven while you’re making your coffee. Unlike most strata recipes which tend to be heavy, we’ve lightened this one up with less bread, lots of veggies, and feta cheese (but we also just really love feta)! If you have leftover ingredients from an Italian meal, you can make this strata in minutes. Day-old bread, spinach, cheese, and cherry tomatoes are what we use, but the recipe is really versatile. You can sub the cherry tomatoes for red peppers, thinly sliced zucchini, olives, or sun-dried tomatoes, and pretty much any cheese and bread will work. Most people serve strata for breakfast or brunch, but just like quiche, this cheesy vegetarian casserole tastes great for dinner, too. Leftovers can be easily warmed up for an easy (and enviable) office lunch the next day!
What to serve with spinach strata
This tomato spinach strata is hearting and filling and can be served on its own or alongside other breakfast foods like fresh fruit, roast potatoes, sweet or savory pastries, or salad. Strata doesn’t need to be reserved for breakfast and brunch, though. Serve it with a salad and some grilled sausage (or veggie sausage) and you’ve got yourself an easy and delicious dinner.
