A strata is a baked egg and bread casserole that makes for an effortlessly indulgent breakfast. With mix-ins providing infinite variations, our strata takes a cue from the French, upgrading regular bread for cubes of sweet, buttery brioche that crisp up as they bake. Baked into the brioche and eggs are caramelized onion, umami-rich prosciutto, and melty white cheddar that browns to perfection. The addition of Dijon mustard and nutmeg complete the picture to create a morning meal that is simply parfait.

This recipe is triple the typical servings, providing 6 servings and 12 servings for a 2 person and 4 person box respectively.

Instructions

• Adjust rack to middle position (middle and top positions for 12 servings) and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash and dry produce. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish (two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes for 12) with nonstick cooking spray. • Dice brioche into ½-inch pieces. • Cut prosciutto into 1½-inch pieces. Roughly chop parsley.

• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs*, cream sauce base, mustard, nutmeg, and half the cheddar until combined. • Add brioche pieces to egg mixture and toss until fully coated. Set aside and allow to soak until ready to use in Step 4.

• Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 8-10 minutes. • Add 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 12 servings) and a splash of water; cook, stirring, until onion is caramelized and jammy, 2-3 minutes more. Season with pepper.

• Transfer strata mixture to prepared baking dish and spread out in an even layer. (For 12 servings, evenly divide mixture between two prepared baking dishes.) • Spread caramelized onion over strata. Evenly top with prosciutto pieces. TIP: Be sure to get the onion and prosciutto into all the nooks and crannies of the strata! • Sprinkle with remaining cheddar and a pinch of parsley.

• Lightly coat a large piece of aluminum foil (two large pieces of foil for 12 servings) with nonstick cooking spray. Cover baking dish tightly with foil, coated side down. • Bake strata on middle rack until almost set, 20-25 minutes. (For 12, bake on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.) • Once strata has baked 20-25 minutes, carefully remove and discard foil. Return to oven and continue to bake until cheese is browned, 10-12 minutes more. TIP: Don’t worry if your strata jiggles a bit! It will fully set as it cools.
