Description
An egg and sausage breakfast casserole with veggies. A healthy and delicious way to start your day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 leek, rinsed and sliced
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups chopped spinach
- 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
- 1 (12 oz) bag frozen cauliflower florets
- 5 eggs
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dry mustard
- 1/8 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375° F.
- Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add in the breakfast sausage and break it up. Add in the onion and leek. Brown for about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic cloves and stir for about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the spinach, green chiles, cauliflower and turn heat to low.
- Meanwhile in a bowl whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, mustard and paprika.
- Turn the heat off of the pan. Stir the egg mixture and the cheese into the sausage mixture.
- Spray a pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until eggs are firm (glass pans will take more towards 40 minutes and metal pans will be more towards the 30 minute side).
Notes
To slice a leek, first trim off the root end and the dark green top, then cut the leek in half lengthwise, and finally slice crosswise into thin rounds or half-moons depending on your desired cut; be sure to rinse thoroughly in cold water to remove any dirt trapped between the layers before slicing.
