It's no secret that I love breakfast casseroles. They make me think of "brunch", which always includes love and happiness. This casserole definitely fits the bill. Make this for dinner one night of the week, and then eat the leftovers for breakfast the next morning. Two meals in one is a slam dunk. Feel free to include any other vegetables that you enjoy. The combination I suggest here is particularly tasty, and the kids didn't even notice the spinach.
1 pound ground breakfast chicken sausage
1/4 cup diced onion
8 whole omega-3 eggs
1 cup 2% cottage cheese
1/4 cup shredded cheese (I used a Mexican blend)
2 handfuls baby spinach leaves
1/2 tsp each salt & pepper
Olive oil
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a 9x13 baking dish with olive oil spray. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the the ground chicken and onions, cooking until the chicken is fully browned. Drain and set aside.While the chicken is cooking, in a large bowl scramble the eggs well. Then stir in the cottage cheese, shredded cheese and salt and pepper. Finally stir in the spinach and sausage mixture until fully incorporated. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set. If desired, you may top the dish with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking.
