1 pound pork breakfast sausage (I either use the hot kind or throw in a bunch of cayenne if I don't have it)
1 large stalk celery (chopped)
1/4 cup chopped onion
4 ounces mushrooms, diced
4 large eggs
1/2 cup cream
8 oz. cheese, shredded (mozzarella or Monterey Jack or mild cheese are best, but anything will work)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tsp teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried sage
Brown the sausage with the onion and celery; drain well. Add sage and mushrooms, saute a bit longer. Place in a 2 qt. casserole dish. Mix in cheese. Beat eggs, cream, seasonings. Pour evenly over meat mixture. Bake at 350ยบ 35-40 minutes until set in the center and nicely browned. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
I've also cooked up 12 to 16 ounces of ground turkey and then added it in when I add the cheese to the casserole to bulk things up, and it was still great. You could also do the same with a cup or so of cooked chicken (either ground or cut into small pieces).
I made this up in the morning and put everything in the casserole and then put a little note on it with what temperature and time to bake it so Justin could pop it in when he got home from work since I was working later, and his schedule has been crazy.
Not the most high-tech solution, but it worked so well.
Grade: A+ - I've made this dish several times with different tweaks depending on what we had available for meat, and we both love it. Sooo good. :)
