Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground pork sausage
  • 2 cups (300 g / 10.6 oz) diced zucchini
  • ¼ cup (40 g / 1.41 oz) diced yellow onion
  • 2 cups (140 g / 4.9 oz) shredded cabbage
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup (115 g / 4.1 oz) mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp (30 g / 1.06 oz) Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) dried ground sage
  • 1½ cups / 170g (6 oz) shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper, to taste
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Feel free to swap the veggies! Bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach would all be delicious additions. Just be sure to cook them down with the sausage first.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for a quick and easy breakfast.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F / 190°C. Lightly grease a 9x9 inch (or similar 2-quart) casserole dish.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground pork sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
  4. Add the diced zucchini and onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, until tender.
  5. Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook for another 2 minutes until it wilts.
  6. Drain any excess grease from the skillet and transfer the sausage and vegetable mixture to your prepared casserole dish, spreading it in an even layer.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, dried sage, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until smooth and fully combined.
  8. Stir 1 cup (240 ml) of the shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.
  9. Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the sausage and vegetables in the casserole dish.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set, the edges are bubbly, and the cheese on top is golden brown and melted.
