Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage (spicy or mild based on preference)
- 6 cups fresh spinach
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook, breaking it into smaller pieces, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
In the same skillet, add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Layer the cooked sausage evenly in the prepared baking dish. Spread the wilted spinach over the sausage layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the spinach and sausage layers.
Pour the egg mixture over the layers in the dish, ensuring it spreads evenly and soaks through to the bottom.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the bake cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into portions.
Serve warm and enjoy your Sausage Spinach Bake!
