Spinach & Cheese Croissant Strata (Quiche)

Ingredients

8 large croissants, torn into bite-size pieces

2 cups grated Monterey Jack or Swiss cheese, divided

One 10-ounce package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

8 large eggs

2 cups milk

Hot sauce, to taste

Worcestershire sauce, to taste

1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, rosemary, sage, marjoram, etc.

Preheat oven to 350 degree F.

Layer croissant pieces in a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese then top with spinach. In a separate bowl beat eggs, milk, remaining 1 cup of cheese, hot sauce, Worcestershire and herbs; then pour over ingredients in baking pan.

Cover pan loosely with foil sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and rotate pan for more even baking. Bake for 20-30 minutes more (check occasionally and cover with foil if top is browning too quickly), until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Slice into 8 pieces and serve.
