Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing

1 small onion, chopped

1/2 pound white mushrooms, sliced

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

6 cups baby spinach (about 6 ounces)

6 slices potato bread, lightly toasted

6 large eggs

1/2 cup whole milk

3/4 cup shredded gruyere cheese

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 more minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  2. Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with olive oil. Arrange the bread in the dish in a single layer with the edges slightly overlapping, then spoon the mushroom-spinach mixture on top. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate overnight.
  3. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Crack an egg onto each piece of bread; season with salt and pepper. Pour the milk evenly over the top and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until the egg whites are set, 25 to 30 minutes.

I read the comments and STILL cooked my eggs just a bit too long, but still delicious! Definitely make again. I put my spinach mixture in a strainer while I toasted the bread and prepped the pan so not soggy at all (pushed some of the moisture out with a spatula). Next time, I will likely double the spinach/mushroom mix b/c that was my favorite part ... just depends on what veggie to bread ratio you like. But this is an amazing recipe that I will make again!<br />
