Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 small red onion chopped
- 3 large cloves garlic minced
- 1 (12-oz.) package pre-cooked sausage of choice sliced*
- 5 ounces baby spinach optional
- 1 green bell pepper chopped
- 1 (4-oz) can sliced black olives drained
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes or 1 large vine ripened tomato, chopped
- 16 ounces Grated Cheese of Choice **
- 12 large eggs well-beaten
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chopped onion. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add in the fresh minced garlic and sliced sausage links and continue cooking until the sausage begins turning golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes longer. If adding, add in the baby spinach, cover the skillet, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or just until the spinach has wilted.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a large casserole dish with cooking spray. I use a 13” x 9” casserole dish.
- Transfer the chopped bell pepper, olives, and tomatoes to the bottom of a the prepared baking dish large casserole dish. Add in the onion sausage mixture and stir everything together.
- Crack eggs into a large bowl and whisk well until the eggs are well-beaten. Stir in half of the grated cheese.
- Pour the beaten egg mixture into the casserole dish and use a spoon or fork to stir the egg around until everything is in an even layer and it appears as though the ingredients are well-distributed throughout the dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the edges of the egg bake are golden brown.
- Allow the cheesy sausage egg bake to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Serve with any of your favorite toppings like extra grated cheese, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), sliced avocado, and salsa.
Notes
- *You can use up to 1 pound of ground breakfast sausage or pick your favorite pork or chicken sausage. I like using chicken sausage for high protein and lower fat. If you use an uncooked ground sausage, be sure to cook the sausage fully before using it in the casserole.

- **I use colby jack cheese, but any of your favorite melting cheeses will work. Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, gruyere cheese, and pepper jack cheese are all great options.
