~166 kcals per serving

Directions:

Preheat your oven to about 375 degrees. Spray some non-stick cooking spray in a 9″ square or round pie dish. Thaw the veggies and drain (if frozen) and place in the dish as the bottom layer. Then top with cheese and some spices of your liking (thinking some basil or fresh garlic would’ve been really good if I had some on hand). Brown the ground sausage and place the bits on top of the cheese and veggie layers. Beat the eggs and milk in a bowl, add more spices if you like. Then pour the egg mixture over the veggies, cheese, and sausage layer.

Place in the oven uncovered and bake for about 40-50 minutes. Check at the 30 minute mark, as many ovens vary. Let sit at least 5 minutes to cool before dividing up and serving.
