Breakfast Casserole

• 1 - 14 oz. package chicken Italian sausage
• 1 - 4 oz. can chopped green chiles, drained
• 2 cups chopped bell peppers
• 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
• Salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup egg whites
• 1/4 cup cream
• 2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
• 1/4 tsp. onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/3 tsp. salt
• freshly ground black pepper

Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.  Preheat oven to 375F.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray and add the sausage.  Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink and cooked through.  

Add the can of chiles and stir to combine.  Pour the sausage and chiles into greased baking dish.

Add the bell peppers and onions to the same skillet, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook until veggies start to soften, about 5 minutes.  Add this mixture to the baking dish. 

Sprinkle the mozzarella over the top.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, cream, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, onion powder, garlic powder and salt.  Season with freshly ground black pepper.  

Carefully pour the egg mixture into the baking dish, trying to evenly cover the sausage, veggie, cheese mixture.

Pop it into the oven for 30 minutes, cooking until a knife inserted comes out clean.

Cut into 8 pieces.  Enjoy!
