Baked Eggs with Sausage, Spinach, and Cheese

Ingredients and Directions
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage
  • 1 cup shredded cheese – I used Unexpected Cheddar
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 Tbsp. frozen spinach, thawed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brown the sausage until crispy and set aside. Butter two ramekins. Whip two eggs with cream and spinach, salt and pepper, and add even amounts to the ramekins. Sprinkle half the cheese and sausage between the two ramekins. Add the second egg on top and keep whole. Salt and pepper and add remaining cheese and sausage.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until set. Serve with toast, biscuits, or cornbread.

Savory Pancakes

Ingredients and Directions

  • pancake mix (I use the King Arthur Gluten Free Pancake Mix)
  • bacon OR sausage
  • frozen spinach, thawed
  • shredded cheddar
  • green onions

Cook the bacon or sausage and set aside to drain. Prepare pancake mix to package directions…you can make 2 pancakes or 20, just adjust your additional ingredients. For the entire bag of pancake mix I use 1 cup of bacon, 1/2 cup of thawed spinach, 1/2 cup of green onions, and 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Mix all ingredients into the pancake mix and make pancakes as usual. These warm up beautifully and are great for meal prep. I serve them with boiled eggs.

***Serves however many you want!
