I added ingredients to make this my own so this is my recipe using the original one as a base:
- 1 lb sweet Italian sausage - either in links or ground
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/3 c half and half
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp each granulated garlic and onion
- 1/4 tsp dried red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 2-3 cups baby spinach, rough chop
- 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend and 1/2 c shredded cheddar
- salt and pepper to taste
- Optional Topping: Sriracha sauce
instructions
- Spray both sides of your sausage with olive oil. Cook you sausage in an air fryer for twenty minutes on 400° F, flipping mid way through. You can also cook them in a pan. When their done, chop them up into bite size pieces.
- Preheat your oven to 375° F. Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with olive oil.
- When sausage has cooled, spread in the baking dish.
- Sauté your chopped bell pepper for a minute or two in a pan heated with olive oil. Add the scallions and stir for 1 minute. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl beat your eggs for a minute or two. Mix in the cottage cheese and spices then fold in the cooled bell pepper- onion mixture, the chopped spinach and cheese. Season with salt and pepper to your preference. Transfer this mixture to your prepped baking dish and bake for 45-50 minutes. Allow to cool 15 minutes prior to slicing.
