• Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a bowl. Add the onion to the pan drippings in the same skillet and saute until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the spinach and garlic. Saute over medium-low heat until the garlic is tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, nutmeg, and the cooked pancetta.
• Place half of the bread cubes in a buttered 3-quart baking dish. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the bread, then top with half of the spinach mixture. Repeat layering.
• Whisk the milk, eggs, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a large bowl and pour evenly over the strata. Chill the strata, covered with plastic wrap, at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake strata uncovered until puffed, golden brown, and cooked through, 40 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

SAUTEED SPINACH WITH PANCETTA AND CRISPY SLIVERED GARLIC

Steps:

• Gently heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat and add the garlic slices. Cook, stirring with a slotted spoon so the garlic slices gently cook and become crispy, and remove them as they brown. Drain on a kitchen towel and sprinkle with salt.
• Heat a couple of spoonfuls of the oil from the garlic in a large skillet over medium heat and add the pancetta. Cook until the pancetta becomes crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the spinach to the same skillet and season with salt. Toss lightly so the spinach gets coated with the oil and wilts slightly, about 1 minute. (The spinach should only be partially wilted and still appear somewhat raw.)
• Pour off any water that might accumulate in the bottom of the skillet and stir in the vinegar and pancetta. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the garlic chips. Serve immediately.
