Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 8 large eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • butter or oil for greasing

Instructions
 

  • Turn your oven on to 375°F. Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or oil and set it aside.
  • Place a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook it until it’s browned and no longer pink. Drain the extra fat and set the sausage aside.
  • In a large bowl, crack the eggs and pour in the cream. Add a little salt and pepper. Whisk everything together until smooth.
  • Spread the cooked sausage evenly in the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle the chopped spinach over the sausage. Pour the egg mixture on top. Finally, add the shredded cheddar cheese across the top.
  • Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. Check that the center is set and the top is golden.
  • Take the casserole out of the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes. This helps it set and makes slicing easier. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use turkey sausage, chicken sausage, or plant-based sausage for a lighter option.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or use spicy breakfast sausage for an extra kick.
  • Diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or tomatoes work beautifully in this casserole.
