So with eggs in mind I am sharing this tasty egg casserole bake recipe you may wish to try 😋

INGREDIENTS
Serves Six
10 eggs
½ cup coconut milk, milk or cashew milk
2 Tbsp Avocado Oil (divided)
1 pound ground chicken sausage (or your favourite sausage)
2 cups arugula
1.5 cups cauliflower rice
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese (e.g. goat cheddar)
Salt and pepper
Fresh parsley or green onion, to garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
2. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat. Once hot, add your sausage and brown the meat, stirring occasionally. Once fully cooked through, add the cauliflower rice and cook until tender, then mix in the arugula. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the heat from the skillet and meat to wilt the arugula. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes.
3. Once the sausage mixture has cooled slightly, whisk it into the egg mixture a little at a time to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Sprinkle on about ? of the cheese mixture.
4. Use avocado oil spray or butter to grease a baking dish. Pour the egg mixture in and top with the remaining cheese.
5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top and edges of the bake are browned and the casserole feels firm to the touch. Allow the bake to cool, then cut into 6 or 8 pieces and top with chopped parsley or green onion.
RECIPE TIPS
You can use your favourite cheese and green in this recipe. If you don’t like arugula, baby kale, or spinach would work well

I love the variety of your meals. I suspect I would replace the sausage with mushrooms - or simply just leave it out.

Practical Parsimony said...

I love eggs, so there is no need to try to convince me. Back in the 60s, I think, when eggs were declared verboten, we begged my father not to eat so many. He cursed a bit every time and never slowed down. He had a couple of eggs and bacon for breakfast along with toast. Then, he took a fried egg sandwich for mid-morning. Then, he had lunch but probably not eggs. He could eat eggs anytime. He grew up during the Depression, so I wonder if hens with eggs were a staple or if he missed eggs and made up for it during adulthood. The bacon and sausage may have contributed to his fatal pancreatic cancer. Who know? I can eat three eggs, scrambled, and feel full for the rest of the morning. I just wish I had hens so I could feed them well and eat the golden- and orange-yolk eggs.

Jan - I like this recipe - eggs, greens and sausage (but CHICKEN sausage). Although I am in good health, my doc suggests that I cut back on processed meats ... I would eat this for breakfast, lunch OR dinner!!! Enjoy your weekend.
