Cowboy Breakfast Casserole With Sausage And Spinach Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Toast bread on a rimmed baking sheet until dry, 8-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, breaking into pieces with a spatula, until browned, about 7 minutes.
• Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Arrange 6 bread slices in dish in one layer, covering bottom of pan completely and cutting slices to fit if needed. Tear remaining slice into smaller pieces to fill in any gaps.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to baking dish, scattering over bread.
• Heat skillet over medium and add white and pale green scallion parts. Cook, stirring, until softened and just starting to take on color, about 3 minutes. Add spinach, stir to combine, and cook until warmed through, 1-2 minutes more. Top sausage with spinach mixture, then top spinach mixture with cheese.
• Whisk eggs, milk, yogurt, mustard powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Gently pour over casserole. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Uncover dish and transfer to a cold oven. Heat oven to 375°F and bake casserole until eggs are puffed and cheese is browned, about 40 minutes.
• Let casserole cool several minutes. Top with dark green scallion parts.
• Do Ahead
• Casserole can be assembled 1 day ahead. Tightly cover and chill.

Steps:

• Line a 9x13 greased pan with 8 slices of bread and top with half of the cheese.
• Sprinkle meat over cheese. You could also use any other type of meat you prefer. Turkey bacon cooked and crumbled is good too!
• Mix eggs, milk or sour cream or yogurt, ground mustard, and salt and pepper in a bowl until well blended and pour over cheese.
• Top with the rest of the cheese and 8 more slices of bread, pressing down so the egg bubbles up and moistens it a little.
• Spray top of bread with butter flavored cooking spray or spread with a little butter covering the whole surface of the bread.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the middle of casserole looks cooked. Knife inserted in middle will come out with melted cheese but not with 'wet' egg when done.
• Note: Like I said I made this recipe up for my meat and taters cowboy but you can add mushrooms, onions, green pepper etc. if desired. Just throw it into the meat layer.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Beat eggs and milk together in a large bowl. Stir sausage, Cheddar cheese, spinach, and oregano into egg mixture; pour into prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of the casserole comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Grease 9" square pan with a bit of butter.
• Add rest of butter to skillet. Saute onion for 2 minute on med heat, then add mushrooms and garlic. Cook and stir for 4 minutes, until mushrooms have begun to soften, and remove to a bowl.
• Add spinach to skillet and saute lightly, just for a minute or two. Drain by pressing a spatula against the spinach.
• To assemble, layer half of sausage in baking dish. Top with 1/3 of cheese. Add mushroom mixture, then 1/3 of cheese. Add spinach, then rest of cheese, then rest of sausage.
• Beat eggs with cream and seasonings. Pour over other ingredients.
• Casserole can be refrigerated overnight at this point.
• Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, until center is set. Cool for 10 minutes before cutting.
