Add 2 cups of whole milk, 3 teaspoons of salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture.

Grate in 1 clove of garlic and add spinach to the pan with the mushrooms, cooking for a minute or two.

Slice 400 grams of day-old sourdough bread into cubes.

Add 300 grams of cheese to the egg mixture and mix well.

Bake covered for 35 minutes, then remove foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes until browned.
