Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
-
Grease a 9-inch springform pan to prevent sticking.
-
Sauté finely chopped shallot and minced garlic clove in a tablespoon of butter over medium heat for about 4 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
-
Thaw frozen chopped spinach and squeeze out excess water until it’s very dry, then mix it with the sautéed shallot and garlic mixture.
-
Roll out two-thirds of the puff pastry dough and line the prepared springform pan with it, ensuring that the pastry hangs over the edge of the pan.
-
Layer the cooked turkey (or salmon/ham), shredded cheddar cheese, spinach mixture, and diced bell peppers over the pastry-lined pan.
-
Beat the eggs, reserving two tablespoons, and pour the remainder evenly over the layers in the pan.
-
Roll out the remaining puff pastry dough and place it on top of the strata. Crimp the edges to seal the layers together.
-
Cut slits in the top pastry layer to allow steam to escape during baking, then brush the pastry with the reserved beaten egg for a golden finish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
-
Serve warm, cut into slices, and enjoy the delightful flavors of this Strata In Puff Pastry.
Tips:
- Customize the filling by using your favorite meats or seafood options.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties for unique flavor profiles.
- Substitute spinach with other greens like kale or Swiss chard for variation.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the meat and add more vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini.
- Ensure the puff pastry is properly sealed to prevent leakage during baking.
- Allow the strata to cool slightly before slicing to ensure neat portions.
