Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 10 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped baby spinach
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon water
Sausage and Vegetables
- 10 oz smoked turkey sausage, sliced in half moons (like turkey kielbasa)
- 4 ounces diced white mushrooms
- 1/4 cup sliced scallions
- Oil spray for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F to prepare for baking the skillet dish.
- Prepare egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1 tablespoon of water until combined, then stir in shredded cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, salt, and black pepper. Set this mixture aside.
- Cook sausage: Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Spray lightly with oil. Add the smoked turkey sausage slices and cook, turning occasionally until browned on both sides, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and scallions: Add diced mushrooms and sliced scallions to the skillet with the sausage. Cook while stirring until the mushrooms become tender, approximately 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Combine and bake: Pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the sausage and vegetables in the skillet. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set.
- Serve: Run a knife around the edges of the skillet to loosen the dish, then slice into 6 portions. Serve immediately and enjoy a warm, delicious breakfast skillet.
Notes
- Meat: Swap smoked turkey sausage with chicken sausage or Italian turkey sausage. Ground turkey can also be used as a substitute.
- Vegetarian option: Omit the sausage altogether for a vegetarian breakfast skillet.
- Mushrooms: Replace white button mushrooms with baby bellas for a richer flavor.
- No mushrooms?: Substitute with other vegetables like bell pepper or zucchini if desired.
- Scallions: Use chopped onions as a substitute if scallions aren’t available.
- Cheese: Try shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese instead of cheddar for a different taste.
- Seasoning: Enhance flavors by adding paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, or herbs like oregano or parsley.
