Healthy savory breakfast casserole for two, full of eggs, veggies, and melted cheese, perfect for a fast, low-carb morning meal.

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1/3 cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 pound turkey sausage or lean pork sausage, cooked and drained

• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Cook the sausage:
   In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
2. Preheat oven:

3. Mix the casserole:
   In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooked sausage, cheeses, spinach, peppers, and onions. Pour mixture into the prepared dish.
4. Bake:
   Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
5. Cool and serve:
   Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into 4 squares.
