Delicious Sweet Potato Breakfast Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package vegetarian sausage links (such as Morningstar Farms®)
• 0.5 cup water, or more as needed
• 4 cups shredded sweet potatoes
• 0.25 cup butter, melted
• 8 jumbo eggs
• 1 (16 ounce) container low-fat small curd cottage cheese
• 1.5 (8 ounce) packages shredded, reduced-fat mild Cheddar-mozzarella cheese blend
• 1 cup finely sliced fresh spinach leaves
• 0.5 cup finely chopped onion

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly.
2. In a large skillet, place the sausage with ¼ inch of water. Cook over medium heat until the water evaporates and the sausages are nicely browned, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble the sausages and set them aside.
3. Mix the sweet potatoes and butter in a bowl. Then, spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
4. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Gently fold in the cottage cheese, Cheddar-mozzarella cheese, spinach, onion, and the cooked sausages. Spoon this mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the eggs are fully set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, which should take about 1 hour. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
