Flaky Egg Bake Recipe

Prep: 40 min. + freezing Bake: 40 min.

Yield: 12 Servings

40 40 80

Ingredients

3/4 pound bulk Johnsonville® Ground Sausage
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
6 eggs, divided
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Havarti cheese
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil
1 cup butter, melted
30 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches)

Directions

In a large skillet, cook sausage, mushrooms, onion and peppers over medium heat until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender; drain. Return sausage mixture to skillet. Whisk 5 eggs; add to skillet. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until set; stir in Havarti cheese. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil and remaining egg. Brush a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan with butter. Unroll phyllo dough; trim to fit into pan.
Layer 10 sheets in prepared pan, brushing each sheet with butter. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Top with half of the sausage mixture.
Layer with 10 additional phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter; spread with ricotta mixture. Layer with five phyllo sheets, brushing again with butter; top with remaining sausage mixture. Layer with remaining phyllo and butter. Using a sharp knife, cut into 12 rectangles. Cover and freeze casserole for up to 3 months.
To use frozen casserole: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake at 350° for 40-50 minutes or until golden brown and heated through. Yield: 12 servings.

Editor's Note: Look for phyllo dough in the frozen pastry section.

Simply delicious! I cut it into individual portions for the 2 of us and then froze. Wonderful to just pull out of the freezer for an easy breakfast. Thank you!
