For our Christmas brunch, I make this variation on a classic eggs Florentine recipe, adding sausage and spinach to make a snappy casserole. Sometimes I mix in fresh peppers or green chiles, so play with it
ingredient
- 1 pound bulk pork sausage
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 12 large eggs
- 2 cups 2% milk
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink, 6-8 minutes, breaking into crumbles; drain and transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish.
- In same skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and mushrooms; cook and stir until tender, 3-5 minutes. Stir in spinach. Spoon vegetable mixture over sausage.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk until blended; pour egg mixture over vegetables. Sprinkle with cheeses and paprika. Bake, uncovered, until the center is set and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165°, 30-35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
