Ingredients: |
Ingredients: * Coconut oil cooking spray (I have also used small amount of avocado oil to grease casserole dish so raw spinach doesn't stick)
* 4-8 ounces Fresh/Raw spinach
* 1 pound breakfast sausage meat (ground turkey sausage is great, or can use any thawed/cooked/diced breakfast meat alternatives desired, such as diced sausage links, ham or Canadian bacon).
* 1 (10 ounce) bag of frozen, small cut sliced bell peppers. ( I also have had good results with leftover roasted red/yellow/orange bell peppers, or other roasted vegetables, or even a 10 ounce jar of roasted red peppers)
* 8 ounces raw sliced mushrooms (could also used canned and Drained)
*6 large eggs
* 1 1/2 cups egg whites (carton or fresh)
* 2 cups (8 ounces) grated cheese (sharp cheddar or mexican blend works well)
* 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt (optional)
* 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
* Other fresh or dried herbs as desired (i.e. 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

4. Brown the sausage in a large skillet over high heat. Once browned, add the frozen sliced bell peppers (if using) and the raw mushrooms.
