Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Brown sausage and onion in a medium pan until no pink remains. Drain fat.
Add bell pepper, spinach and mushrooms. Cook an additional 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs until foamy. Stir in cottage cheese and seasonings.
Spread sausage mixture in the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Pour egg mixture overtop.
Sprinkle cheese over the casserole and bake 45-55 minutes or until set. Rest 10 minutes before cutting.
Notes
For a fluffier casserole, use small curd cottage cheese.
Break the sausage up into fine pieces while it's frying, so it will create a firm, even layer in the bottom of the casserole dish.
