This delicious casserole is perfect for a crowd or for meal prepping for the week.

Ingredients

• Eggs - I used large eggs for this recipe. If you wanted to cut calories, you could use egg whites or a mix of whole eggs and egg whites.
• Half and Half
• Kosher Salt
• Black Pepper
• Shredded Cheese - I like a mix of colby jack and chedder but you could use a mix of any of your favorite cheeses.
• Avocado Oil
• Garlic
• Mushrooms
• Bell Peppers - I used a mix of red and green bell peppers, but you could use any combination you would like.
• Onions - I prefer yellow onions over white or red for this recipe
• Pork Sausage - this also works great with turkey sausage. I love mixing hot and mild sausage, but you pick what you like.
• Spinach

How to Make

Pre-heat oven to 375° F and spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish with cooking spray.

In a large skillet over medium high heat, add oil and sausage. Cook thoroughly until sausage has browned and no more pink remains. Remove cooked sausage from pan and set aside. You can drain the fat from the sausage, or you can use that to sauté the veggies.

In the same skillet over medium heat, add oil (if needed) and mushrooms. Sauté for 5 minutes until mushrooms have released most of their water.

Add garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Finally add in spinach to the garlic and mushroom mixture and sauté until spinach has wilted. Remove from heat.

In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, half and half, and salt and pepper. Whisk thoroughly and add shredded cheese. Set aside.

Add spinach and mushroom mixture to the bowl with the eggs. Mix to combine.

Add cooked sausage to the egg and veggie mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.

Pour into greased casserole dish.

Bake in pre-heated oven for 30-45 minutes or until the casserole is set in the middle.

Serve hot or cut portions and place in meal prep containers. Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 1 week.

Notes:

Half and Half: you can definitely swap out the half and half for heavy cream if you'd like a lower carb count, however the calorie count will be higher. You can also use blended cottage cheese for added protein.

Bacon: you can used cooked bacon instead of the sausage or for an additional crunch, add crumbled bacon on top.

To check for doneness, insert a butter knife into the middle to see if the egg is set.
