Sausage Egg Bake
Description
The Sausage Egg Bake begins with browning breakfast sausage and cooking diced onion and minced garlic. Fresh spinach, broccoli, and red pepper are added and sautéed briefly until the spinach wilts, seasoning the mixture with salt and black pepper. This mixture is spread evenly in a greased baking dish and topped with crumbled feta cheese for a tangy accent. Separately, eggs are whisked with fat-free milk and poured over the meat and vegetable base. The dish is baked at 350º F for about 25 to 30 minutes until the eggs are fully set. The finished bake offers a combination of savory sausage, tender vegetables, creamy feta, and a baked egg custard that works well for morning meals. Leftovers can be refrigerated for several days and reheated easily in a microwave or oven.
