Spicy sausage, herbs and vegetables fill this casserole with hearty flavor. I like to make it for my family's Christmas breakfast or it's also a fabulous Christmas brunch idea! —Debbie Carter, O'Fallon, Illinois

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 jar (7 ounces) roasted red peppers, drained and chopped, divided
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Transfer to a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the red peppers and all the spinach.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, Parmesan cheese, basil and salt. Combine eggs and milk; add to dry ingredients and mix well. Pour over spinach.
  3. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle with provolone cheese and remaining red peppers. Bake until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes longer. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
