Directions
Sauté onions in butter over medium heat until soft. Add the spinach, corned beef and nutmeg. Stir to blend thoroughly. Set aside.
Sprinkle 1/3 of the bread cubes across bottom of a 3-quart shallow casserole dish. Sprinkle about 1/3 of the spinach mixture over the bread cubes, then sprinkle about 1/3 of the cheese over the spinach mixture. Repeat the layers 2 more times.
In a bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, mustard, salt and pepper. Pour over the casserole. Pat the top all over to submerge the bread. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 25 minutes.
Heat oven to 350. Bake the strata, uncovered, for 45 to 55 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
