Chicken-Garlic Sausage, Kale, and Mozzarella Egg Bake

By Lulubelle

Ingredients

• 4 links (12 oz. total) reduced-fat pre-cooked chicken-garlic sausage
• 1 tsp. + 1 tsp. olive oil
• 4 cups (packed) baby kale leaves (or you can use thinly sliced regular kale)
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions (optional)
• 1 cup grated low-fat mozzarella
• 8 eggs, beaten
• 1 tsp. Spike Seasoning (more or less to taste, or use any type of all-purpose seasoning blend)
• fresh ground black pepper to taste
• low-fat sour cream for serving (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375F/190C. Spray a 9"x12" casserole dish with non-stick spray. (The dish can be slightly smaller too, which will give a thicker result.)

Cut the sausage in half lengthwise, and then slice into half-moons about 3/8 inch thick. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the sausage until it's well-browned. Put browned sausage in the bottom of the casserole dish.

Put the second teaspoon of oil into the same pan and saute the baby kale just until it starts to wilt, about 2 minutes. (If you're not using baby kale this may take a minute or two longer.) Put the wilted kale over the sausage in the casserole dish. Sprinkle green onions and grated mozzarella over the kale, season with Spike and black pepper, and pour the eggs over. Use a fork to gently "stir" so that all the ingredients are coated with egg.

Bake 30-35 minutes, depending on how browned you like it. Serve hot, with a dollop of low-fat sour cream on top if desired.
