How to Make Sausage Broccoli Egg Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease an 11x7 inch baking dish or a medium-size oval casserole dish with butter.
  3. In a large skillet, cook 1 lb Italian sausage (or 1 lb breakfast pork sausage) and 1/2 cup chopped onion over medium-high heat, breaking the sausage into crumbles, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Transfer the cooked sausage and onion to a large bowl.
  5. Add 10 oz fresh broccoli florets (or 10 oz frozen broccoli florets, thawed) and 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Gently toss to combine.
  6. Pour the sausage and broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1 cup ricotta cheese, and 1/2 cup milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and broccoli mixture in the baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Arrange 1 cup sliced tomatoes evenly over the casserole.
  10. Bake covered for 30 minutes.
  11. Remove the cover and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown.
  12. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
