Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1/2 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 5 cups cubed sweet potatoes
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Meat

  • 1 pound turkey sausage

Egg Mixture

  • 10 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (plant-based milk can be substituted)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating, chop all the vegetables. Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Cook the Vegetables: Heat avocado oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan. Add chopped onion, green bell pepper, and sweet potatoes. Cook for 8-9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften. Add minced garlic in the final 1-2 minutes and sauté. Remove vegetables and spread evenly in the prepared casserole dish.
  3. Cook the Sausage: Using the same pan, sauté the turkey sausage until fully cooked. Break into small pieces as it cooks. Add cooked sausage to the casserole dish with the vegetables and mix well.
  4. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, dried thyme, salt, pepper, and grated mozzarella cheese until smooth and well combined.
  5. Combine and Bake: Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetable mixture in the casserole dish. Stir gently to evenly disperse the egg mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the center is firm. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes. This helps the casserole set and makes it easier to cut and serve. Enjoy your delicious and satisfying breakfast casserole.

Notes

  • You can substitute plant-based milk for dairy milk to make this dairy-free.
  • Use gluten-free sausage to keep the recipe gluten-free.
  • Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly to prevent burning.
  • Let the casserole cool before slicing to ensure neat portions.
  • This dish can be made a day ahead and reheated for convenient breakfasts.
