Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 10 none large eggs
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 2 cup spinach, chopped
- 4 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.
Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and drain any excess fat.
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
Stir in the cooked sausage, bell pepper, spinach, green onions, and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or lightly coat with additional olive oil.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy as a hearty breakfast or brunch!
