Dairy-Free Egg Casserole with Sausage and Vegetables
Ingredients
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- ½ medium sweet onion
diced
- 1 medium sweet potato
finely diced
- 3 cups kale
chopped
- 16 oz turkey sausage
- 12 large eggs
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a large glass baking dish with cooking spray.
- 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add ½ tbsp olive oil. Add the diced sweet potatoes and onion and saute. Once simmering, add a lid and cook for about 10 minutes (or until sweet potatoes are tender enough to pierce with a fork), stirring every couple of minutes. Once cooked, remove potato and onion from pan and set aside.
- 3
Add the turkey sausage to the pan and saute until browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
- 4
Add kale to the pan, add the lid, and cook for 3 minutes (or until just wilted), stirring halfway through to prevent burning.
- 5
Add cooked vegetables and turkey sausage to the prepared baking dish. In a large bowl, beat eggs, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Pour egg mixture into the baking dish. Give the dish a gentle shimmy to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- 6
Bake for 32 minutes or until eggs are set. Serve immediately or store for up to 4 days.
