Ingredients
12 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup cooked breakfast sausage
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage until browned. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same pan, sauté onion, mushrooms, and garlic until soft. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in half the shredded cheese.
5. Add sausage and sautéed vegetables into the baking dish. Pour egg mixture over the top and gently mix.
6. Sprinkle remaining cheese and cherry tomatoes over the top (if using).
7. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes or until the center is set and top is golden.
8. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or store for later.
Notes
Always cook sausage and vegetables before adding to avoid excess moisture.
Let the bake rest after cooking to help it set and slice cleanly.
This dish is freezer-friendly—wrap slices individually for meal prep.
