Ingredients

• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 4 cups day-old bread, cubed
• 6 eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Add the cubed bread, sautéed broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese to the egg mixture. Gently fold everything together until the bread cubes are evenly coated.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 6

Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the strata for extra richness.

Step 7

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the strata is set in the center.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy your Broccoli Strata!
