Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup of diced bread (preferably whole grain or gluten-free)
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
6 large eggs
1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
1 pound of chicken sausage, casings removed and crumbled
1 cup of chopped bell peppers (any color)
1 cup of chopped spinach or kale
1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the crumbled chicken sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the chopped bell peppers and spinach (or kale) and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture along with the diced bread. Pour the egg mixture over the top and gently stir to combine.
Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and pour the mixture into the dish. Spread it evenly and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
