Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 1/2 to 3 cups fresh broccoli, finely chopped (no need to pre cook it first if you chop it finely)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided (can use more)
- 8 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup half and half cream (or milk)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (seasoned salt, or to taste)
- 1 plum tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Set oven rack to lowest position. Grease an 11 x 7-inch baking dish
-
Step 2: Cook the sausage meat with onion in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until sausage crumbles and is no longer pink; drain. Add in garlic and continue cooking until the sausage is lightly browned (about 10-12 minutes).
-
Step 3: Toss together sausage mixture with broccoli, and 1/2 cup or more of shredded cheese blend. Spoon into the baking dish.
-
Step 4: In a bowl combine 1/2 cup or more of the cheese blend with eggs, and next 4 ingredients; pour over broccoli mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese mixture.
-
Step 5: Arrange tomato slices on top, then sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the tomatoes.
-
Step 6: Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until just set (do not over bake or the eggs will be to hard you want the eggs light and fluffy). Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
