Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground sausage
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 6 cups Baby spinach
- 6 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Gruyere cheese
- 3 stalks Green onions
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the russet potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and set aside.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet in batches, cooking until wilted. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
Layer one-third of the potato slices on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the sausage and spinach mixture, then crumble one-third of the goat cheese over the top. Repeat the layers (potatoes, sausage mixture, goat cheese) one more time. Finish with a final layer of potatoes.
Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the layered ingredients. Gently press down on the layers with a spatula to ensure everything is evenly soaked.
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the strata is puffed, golden brown, and set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice into portions and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
