Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 12 oz pork sausage, casings removed
- 0.75 cup yellow onion, diced
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 4 cup baby spinach, chopped loosely packed
- 2 cup beaten eggs about 10 large eggs
- 0.5 cup whole milk or half-and-half
- 1.25 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat the oven to 375°F and place a rack in the center.
- Warm olive oil and butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Brown the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink. Spoon off excess fat.
- Stir in onion and cook until translucent, 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Fold in spinach and cook until wilted. Spread the mixture in an even layer.
- Whisk eggs with milk, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir in half the cheddar.
- Pour the egg mixture over the skillet fillings. Gently stir, then top with remaining cheddar and Parmesan.
- Cook without stirring until the edges just begin to set, about 2 minutes.
- Bake until the center is barely set and the top is lightly golden, 10–12 minutes. Rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Try swapping cheddar for smoked gouda or pepper jack for a spicier twist. For meal prep, chill slices in an airtight container up to 4 days; reheat gently in a skillet or microwave. To make it vegetarian, substitute sautéed mushrooms for the sausage and add a pinch more salt.
