Artichoke, Salmon, and Boursin Strata

Make ahead,bake later.  For the harried and busy who don't want to sacrifice quality eating.

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 dashes of Tabasco sauce
  • 2 cups poached salmon (not canned), flaked
  • One 16-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, defrosted and coarsely chopped, or two 14.5 ounce cans artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
  • 8 cups torn white bread,crusts removed
  • Two 5.2 ounce packages garlic-herb Boursin cheese, chilled (see note below)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
 

Method

Make it now:

Coat the inside of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl,whisk together the eggs, milk salt, Tabasco sauce, salmon, and artichoke hearts.  Add the bread and stir to coat all the bread.  Crumble the Boursin into the bowl, reserving about half of one of the packages.

Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish.  Crumble the remaining Boursin and sprinkle it over the top of the casserole.  Drizzle the melted butter over the Boursin, then cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Bake it Later:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.  Let the casserole come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Bake the casserole for 40 minutes, until puffed, golden, and set in the middle. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving hot.

Diva Note:  It's easiest to crumble soft cheeses like Boursin and goat cheese when they are chilled; if they are at room temperature they won't crumble at all and will become a sticky mess.

Serves: 8
