Prep: 15 min · Cook: 45 min · Yield: 6 · Method: Oven

Ingredients

• 12 oz breakfast sausage
• 2 cups sweet potato
• 8 eggs
• 1 cup spinach
• 0.5 cup cheddar cheese
• 0.5 medium onion
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish. (about 5 min) — 375°F
2. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and the center reaches 160°F, about 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate. (about 9 min) — 160°F
3. Add the olive oil and onion to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes, then add the sweet potato, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is fork-tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. (about 15 min) — Medium heat
4. Return the sausage to the skillet and stir in the spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute. (about 1 min) — Medium heat
5. Whisk the eggs in a bowl, pour them over the skillet mixture, and sprinkle the cheddar evenly on top. (about 2 min)
6. Bake until the eggs are fully set in the center and the top is lightly golden, 18 to 22 minutes. Rest for 5 minutes before serving. (about 22 min) — 375°F
