Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 45 mins | Total: 1h
Ingredients
3 cups spinach leaves fresh, uncooked
4 scallions sliced, white and green parts separated
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
16 ounces breakfast sausage see Notes
12 large eggs
¾ cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit. Lightly grease baking dish, then layer spinach leaves, white parts of scallions, and chopped parsley in bottom of baking dish. Set dish aside.
In large skillet over medium heat, cook breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled. Stir often while cooking and break sausage into small pieces with spatula or wooden spoon.
While sausage cooks, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in large mixing bowl. Once ingredients are fully combined, gently fold in shredded cheddar cheese.
Layer cooked sausage on top of spinach leaves in baking dish. Pour egg mixture over sausage, making sure to distribute mixture as evenly as possible across baking dish.
Place baking dish in preheated oven and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until casserole is firm and eggs are cooked through. Remove from oven and slice into 12 squares. Garnish with green parts of scallions and additional shredded cheese if desired, then serve warm.
Notes:
Sausage: Feel free to use hot or mild pork, turkey, or chicken breakfast sausage to fit your tastes and preferences. Just make sure your sausage doesn’t contain any added sugar or sugar alternatives.
Cheese: For best results, shred your own cheddar cheese from a block. Prepackaged shredded cheese contains fillers and starches to prevent clumping, which add unnecessary carbs and keep the cheese from melting well.
