Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange half the bread in dish, overlapping and wedging pieces to cover the bottom. In a large bowl, whisk together 5 eggs, then add milk, cream, 2 tablespoons. sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt and whisk again. Pour half of custard over bread in dish, letting it soak in thoroughly. Set remaining custard aside. To make filling, use a handheld or stand mixer to beat together goat cheese, cream cheese, butter, remaining egg, and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl until soft and fluffy, about 1 minute. Drop half of filling over bread in large spoonfuls, gently spreading it out with the back of the spoon. Repeat process with half of jam. Arrange remaining bread in a layer, then repeat process with custard, goat cheese filling, and jam. Swirl a butter knife through the top layers of cheese and jam to create a decorative design. (At this point, the strata can be baked immediately or covered and refrigerated overnight.) Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the strata is puffed, firmly set, and golden brown. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes, then dust with confectioners sugar, cut into squares, and serve. Looking for more breakfast recipes?
