Breakfast Casserole
Ready in 8h 55 minutes
Prep: 15 minutes
Inactive: 8 hours
Cook: 40 minutes

Yield: 6 servings







Ingredients

8 ounces of spicy or sweet turkey sausage links with casings removed and meat crumbled
2
sliced scallions

6 large eggs and 6 large egg whites
1 3/4 cups of one-percent milk
Freshly ground black pepper and kosher salt
One 9-ounce package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained of excess liquid
3/4 cup of shredded Cheddar
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan
1/2 of whole wheat baguette, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
Cooking spray

Directions

Firstly heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Then add the turkey and scallions and cook, stirring to break up any large chunks, until browned and cooked through, for about 10 minutes. After that remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Next, whisk the eggs, egg whites, milk and half teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl until combined. Then add the cooked sausage, cheeses, spinach and bread and toss to distribute ingredients evenly.
After that spray a three-quart casserole dish with cooking spray and spread the egg mixture evenly in the dish. Then cover and refrigerate for at least six hours or preferably overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake the casserole, uncovered, until set and lightly browned on top, for about 30 minutes.

Quick Tip: Freeze the baked casserole for up to two weeks then cover with foil and reheat at 350 degrees F until hot, for 35-45 minutes.
