Sausage Egg & Spinach Casserole

Sausage Egg & Spinach Casserole

2 lb breakfast sausage

18 eggs

1/2 c heavy whipping cream

1/2 t salt

1/2 t pepper

1/2 t red pepper flakes (opt)

1 t garlic powder

2 1/2 c cheddar cheese, divided

2 heaping handfuls (or 4 c) spinach, roughly chopped 

1. Preheat oven to 400* & grease a 9x13 pan.

2. In a big pan or pot over medium-high heat, brown sausage.

3. While sausage is cooking, mix together eggs, cream, spices, and 1 cup cheese.

4. When the sausage is just done, throw in spinach and let wilt. Temper the egg mixture by adding the sausage/spinach one spoonful at a time, stirring after each, until both mixtures are combined.

5. Pour into prepared pan & cook, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, until egg is set up and cheese has browned. Allow casserole to rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
