- Grease a 13X9 inch glass baking dish with butter or a butter substitute (my preference).

- In a large mixing bowl, blend together the cubed bread, shredded cheese, fresh mushrooms, spinach and green onions and any optional vegetable or herbs you wish to add.
- Add the bread mixture into the buttered baking dish, and spread evenly.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread mixture in the baking dish.
- Refrigerate overnight covered with plastic wrap.
- In the morning, set the Egg Strata out on the counter to warm to room temperature.
- Pre-heat oven to 350-degrees.*
- Bake at 350-degrees for 50-60 minutes, until set and slightly browned on top.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.
*NOTE: If the glass baking dish is still cool when you are ready to bake the Egg Strata, place the egg dish in the oven as soon as you begin to pre-heat the oven, and bake for 1 hour.
