Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 cup yellow onion diced
- 3 cups white mushrooms sliced
- ½ pound Italian sausage
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup milk of choice (cow's, almond, coconut, etc)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (more as needed)
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup hard cheese (swiss, cheddar, etc.)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat avocado oil or other healthy fat in a 9" cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and sautee until translucent and slightly golden.
- Move onions towards the outer side of the pan and add mushrooms to the center. Cook the mushrooms for about 4 minutes, gently stirring them to not disturb the onions on the side.
- Combine mushrooms and onions together and scoop them to the outer side of the pan to make room for sausage in the center. Add sausage and cook for approximately 6 minutes, breaking up the meat and gently stirring to not disturb the onions and mushrooms on the side.
- Combine sausage along with mushrooms and onions and spread evenly across the pan. Take off heat and set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk eggs and milk together for approximately 2 minutes. Add seasonings.
- Add cheese and broccoli florets. Mix to combine. Pour over the sausage and gently spread the cheese and broccoli evenly across the pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to settle for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Top with sour cream or salsa. Garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley, green onion, and dill.
Notes
- Depending on the salt content of the sausage and cheese used, start with ½ teaspoon of salt but be ready to increase as needed.
