Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Lean Turkey Sausage
  • 1 Large Red Bell Pepper, finely diced
  • 1 Small Yellow Onion, minced
  • 3 cups Fresh Baby Spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, smashed and minced
  • 12 Large Pasture-Raised Eggs
  • 0.5 cup Plain Greek Yogurt, full-fat
  • 0.25 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
  • 0.25 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1.5 cups Sharp White Cheddar, shredded
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Chives, snipped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prep: Set your oven to 175°C. Lightly grease your 9x13-inch dish. Note: This ensures the eggs don't stick to the corners as they expand.
  2. Sear the Sausage: Place the turkey sausage in your skillet over medium high heat. Break it apart and cook until crispy, brown, and caramelized.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics: Move the meat to a plate. In the same pan, toss in your onions and bell peppers. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the peppers are soft.
  4. Wilt the Greens: Add your garlic and chopped spinach. Stir for about 1 minute until the spinach is bright green and collapsed.
  5. Whisk the Custard: In your large bowl, combine the 12 eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Whisk until the mixture is pale yellow and perfectly smooth.
  6. Layer the Fillings: Spread your sausage and vegetable mixture across the bottom of the baking dish.
  7. Add the First Cheese: Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded white cheddar over the meat and veggies. Note: Placing cheese here helps glue the fillings to the egg.
  8. Pour and Top: Carefully pour the egg custard over the fillings. Finish with the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar and the snipped chives.
  9. The Final Bake: Slide the dish into the oven. Bake for 35 minutes until the edges are puffed and golden, but the center still wobbles slightly.
  10. Rest and Set: Let the dish sit on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Note: This is vital for the carryover cooking to finish the center.
