4 ounces button or crimini mushrooms, sliced

2 bunches fresh spinach or 1 package frozen chopped spinach

2 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried

Salt and pepper to taste

5 large eggs

4 cups half & half, milk, or combination

1 loaf of sourdough bread

Melt 1 Tablespoon butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and mushrooms and saute until soft. Stir in spinach and basil and season with salt and pepper. Whisk eggs and milk together in a separate bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Grease an 8-1/2 x 11-inch baking dish. Cut bread to cover bottom. Spread vegetable mixture over bread. Top with remaining bread and cheeses. Pour the egg mixture over top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Place the baking dish in a large roasting pan and fill the pan with hot water halfway up the baking pan. Bake until browned on top, about 50 to 60 minutes.
