How to Make Low Carb Italian Bake

  1. Remove casings from 1 lb Italian sausage and brown in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate or quiche pan.
  3. Spread the browned sausage evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan. Top with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  4. Thaw 10 oz frozen spinach and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 15 oz ricotta cheese, the squeezed spinach, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the sausage and mozzarella.
  7. Arrange 1 cup sliced fresh tomatoes and 1 cup sliced mushrooms over the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning.
  8. Top with the remaining 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly and the filling is set.
  10. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
