Savory Sweet Potato Casserole for Breakfast

Ingredients Needed
-
1 (8 ounce) package vegetarian sausage links (such as Morningstar Farms®)
-
½ cup water, or more as needed
-
4 cups shredded sweet potatoes
-
¼ cup butter, melted
-
1 ½ (8 ounce) packages shredded, reduced-fat mild Cheddar-mozzarella cheese blend
-
½ cup finely chopped onion
-
1 cup finely sliced fresh spinach leaves
-
1 (16 ounce) container low-fat small curd cottage cheese
-
8 jumbo eggs
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat with 1/4 inch of water until the water evaporates and the sausage is browned, about 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble the cooked sausage into a bowl.
-
In a bowl, combine the sweet potatoes and butter. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared 9x13-inch dish.
-
In a large bowl, stir together the Cheddar-mozzarella cheese blend, onion, spinach, cottage cheese, eggs, and crumbled sausage. Spoon this mixture over the sweet potato layer.
-
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the eggs are set. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
