# Étapes à suivre:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) to ensure even and thorough baking.
02 -
Slice the crusty bread into thick pieces (about 2.5 cm thick). Arrange half of the slices in a greased baking dish, overlapping slightly to form a solid base.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined to create a custard base.
04 -
Pour half of the egg mixture over the bread layer, ensuring it seeps through. Add a layer of sautéed spinach, diced tomatoes, and half of the shredded cheese.
05 -
Add another layer of bread followed by the remaining egg mixture, spinach, tomatoes, and cheese, ensuring even distribution.
06 -
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the top is golden and eggs are set.
07 -
Remove the dish from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs and slice into squares to serve warm.
