Preparation

Step 1

Chop up onion and sauté on low-medium heat with the butter and the garlic. Sauté until the onions are clear and with a nice caramel coloring.


While the onions are sautéing, crack all 10 eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk with a fork. Add the cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese and mix into the eggs.


In a large skillet brown the hot sausage. When the sausage is almost cooked entirely, add the cans of mushrooms, tomato paste, a few dashes of hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste, and sauté 5-10 more minutes. Mix in caramelized onions to meat mixture.


In a large round, glass casserole dish, pour meat into the bottom of the dish and spread evenly. Poor egg mixture over the top of the meat. Use a fork to poke holes down into the meat to allow the egg to mix just slightly into the meat.


Bake on 350 degrees for 40 minutes. The top should be a nice golden brown color.


I add a dollop of sour on top when I serve it. (The sour cream is not counted in the carb count)
