Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 lb turkey breakfast sausage
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 medium zucchini chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh oregano chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
  • 1/4 cup chives chopped
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 18 eggs well beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups mozarella cheese grated

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly oil a large casserole dish.
  • Heat the avocado oil over medium heat in a large skillet (I use cast iron). Add the turkey breakfast sausage and brown until cooked through.
  • Add the garlic, zucchini, oregano, basil, chives, baby spinach, and sea salt. Cover and cook until spinach has wilted, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the sausage and vegetable mixture to the casserole dish and spread it into an even layer. 
  • Beat the eggs well in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer, or in a bowl with a fork until well-combined. Pour the beaten eggs evenly into the casserole dish. Sprinkle with mozarella cheese.
  • Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven 45 - 55 minutes, or until casserole is cooked through. Remove from oven and allow casserole to rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
