Easy Overnight Egg Bake With Sausage And Kale Recipes

SAUSAGE, EGG AND KALE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Generously butter a large 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
• Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add sausage and cook, stirring to break it up, until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish, spreading it in an even layer.
• Add 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Add red onion, salt it lightly and cook, stirring frequently, until it starts to take on color, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish and arrange evenly on top of the sausage.
• Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet and heat over medium. Add kale, season it lightly with salt and pepper, cover and cook, occasionally tossing with tongs until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish and arrange evenly on top of the onions. Top with the grape tomatoes and fontina.
• Whisk together the eggs and cream in a large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. (If making ahead of time, wrap the baking dish and egg mixture separately and refrigerate until needed.)
• Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the baking dish, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until the eggs are just set in the middle, 25 to 30 minutes. (Increase the baking time by about 15 minutes if the components were refrigerated ahead of time.).
• Broil until the top is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with Aleppo, if using.

CHEESY KALE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• If you're planning to bake this immediately, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. If you're prepping this the day before, no need to preheat now.
• In a skillet (or 4-quart braiser that you can put in the oven), heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Combine the sourdough, mozzarella, Gruyere and kale with the buttery onion mixture, either in a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish or in the braiser.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, mustard, salt, nutmeg, eggs, thyme, hot sauce and a bunch of turns of pepper. Pour into the casserole dish over the bread mixture. Top with another little sprinkle of Gruyere. Cover with foil and bake immediately or refrigerate up to 24 hours.
• Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until browned on top and set throughout, about another 30 minutes.
