Instructions

Gather all ingredients, preheat the oven to 375°Fahrenheit (190°Celsius), and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prepare for assembly.
Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, stirring often, then drain the excess grease.
Spread the cooked sausage evenly in the baking dish, sprinkle chopped spinach on top, and set aside.
Whisk eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl, pour evenly over the sausage and spinach, top with cheddar, and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and set.

Notes

Prep Ingredients Ahead: Chop your vegetables and cook the sausage before combining with eggs. This saves time and makes assembling the casserole easier.
Use a Nonstick or Greased Dish: Lightly grease your baking dish or use a nonstick pan. This prevents sticking and makes serving much easier.
Check Doneness Early: Start checking the casserole 5 minutes before the recommended baking time. This ensures the eggs are cooked through but still moist.
Customize Flavors: Add your favorite herbs, cheeses, or vegetables for extra flavor. Small changes can make the casserole your own unique recipe.
