Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or a little olive oil.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the breakfast sausage. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks. Once browned and cooked through, drain off any excess grease.1 pound lean breakfast sausage
- In the same skillet (you can wipe it clean if there's a lot of residual grease), add a teaspoon of olive oil if needed. Add the chopped bell pepper, chopped onion, and cook over medium heat until they are slightly softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the chopped spinach during the last minute of cooking until it wilts.1 cup chopped bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
- In a large bowl, crack the 12 large eggs. Add the unsweetened almond milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk vigorously until the eggs are well combined and slightly frothy.12 large eggs, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Add the cooked sausage and the sautéed vegetables to the egg mixture. Stir gently to distribute everything evenly.1 pound lean breakfast sausage, 2 cups chopped fresh spinach, 1 cup chopped bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped onion
- Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish. Ensure the ingredients are spread out evenly.
- If you're using cheese, sprinkle the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.1 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is lightly golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows it to set up nicely.
Notes
This casserole stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 15-20 minutes, or microwave individual slices for 60-90 seconds.
