Discover a delicious way to break casserole with Italian Sausage! Try this flavorful recipe today.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 19.5 oz. uncooked turkey or Turkey-Turkey-bacon Italian sausage
  • 2 tsp. olive oil + 2 tsp. olive oil (more or less, depending on your pan)
  • 1 lb. sliced mushrooms (pre-sliced mushrooms make it easy, but rinse them before you slice if you’re not using those)
  • 2 cups grated Mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions, plus more to sprinkle over the top (optional but good)
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, rinsed and drained
  • 10 eggs, beaten until whites and yolks are well combined
  • 1 tsp. Spike seasoning (optional but recommended, can also use any other spice blend you like with eggs)
  • 1/4 cup coarsely grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Spray a large casserole dish (about 9″ x 13″) with non-stick spray.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 tsp. olive oil to a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat, squeeze turkey Italian sausage out of casings, and cook until sausage is done and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. I used the sharp side of a metal turner to break the sausage apart as it cooked.
  3. Step 3: When sausage is done, spread out in a layer in the casserole dish.
  4. Step 4: Wash mushrooms if needed, spin or pat dry, and slice (or use pre-sliced mushrooms). Heat another 2 tsp oil in the same frying pan and cook mushrooms until all liquid is released and evaporated and they’re starting to brown slightly.
  5. Step 5: Layer mushrooms over the sausage in the casserole dish.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle 1 cup grated cheese and 1/4 cup sliced green onions over the sausage and mushrooms.
  7. Step 7: While sausage and mushrooms cook, put cottage cheese into a fine strainer, put strainer in sink and rinse cottage cheese gently with cold water and let drain well.
  8. Step 8: Break eggs into a medium sized bowl or large glass measuring cup, then beat with a fork until yolks and whites are well combined. Add Spike Seasoning (affiliate link), drained cottage cheese, and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and stir together.
  9. Step 9: Then pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the casserole dish.
  10. Step 10: Use a fork to gently stir so all ingredients are coated with egg and well-combined.
  11. Step 11: Sprinkle the other cup of grated cheese over the top.
  12. Step 12: Bake 30-35 minutes, or until the center is completely set and the top of the breakfast casserole is starting to lightly brown.
  13. Step 13: Serve hot, garnished with more green onions if desired.
