Coat a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a large skillet, sauté bacon and leeks until bacon is crisp and leeks are tender, about 15 minutes. Add garlic, kale, raisins, pepper and nutmeg. Cook until kale is wilted. You may need to add the kale in batches. Combine half-and-half and eggs in a large bowl. Beat until blended. Stir in bread cubes, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, rosemary and 1 cup Gruyére cheese. Add vegetable mixture and stir well. Pour egg mixture into baking dish. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Remove strata from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Top with remaining 1/2 cup Gruyére. Bake for 45 minutes or until strata is set.
