Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch casserole pan with cooking spray.
- Set a medium pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon or spatula, until cooked through and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove to a bowl and set aside. Add the onion to the pan and saute until translucent and the browned bits of sausage in the pan have been picked up by the onion, about 5 minutes -- this will add lots of flavor! Once the onions are cooked, add the potatoes. Cook until they are tender and just beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. If necessary, add more olive oil so the potatoes don't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove the potatoes and onions to the bowl of sausage. Coat the pan with a bit of olive oil and add the broccoli. Saute until just tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the sausage bowl.
- Add the milk, cream, eggs and some salt and pepper to a separate medium bowl and whisk to combine.
- Transfer the sausage and vegetable mixture to the prepared casserole pan. Toss and distribute evenly on the bottom of the pan. Gently pour the egg mixture over the top. Bake until the frittata is puffed and beginning to brown and the egg is set in the middle, about 30 minutes. Allow to set for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with the dill and serve. The frittata is delicious hot out of the oven, room temperature or even cold!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and spray an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with some non-stick cooking spray.
- Set a large skillet over medium heat and add the sausage. Cook until slightly browned, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon as it cooks, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the onion and potato and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and the potatoes become golden brown, approximately 6-7 minutes.
- In the meantime, whisk the eggs and whole milk in a small bowl and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Add one-half cup cheddar cheese and stir to combine.
- Transfer the sausage-potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and stir in the diced broccoli. Spread into an even layer and pour the egg mixture evenly over the top. Sprinkle remaining cheese across the top.
- Place in the pre-heated oven and bake until the eggs are set and the potatoes are cooked through, around 30-35 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool for several minutes before slicing. Top with fresh chives and serve immediately. Enjoy!

BROCCOLI AND SAUSAGE CASSEROLE
Enjoy this fabulous go-to entrée for brunch, lunch, or dinner. It's like a savory, rich-and-crusty bread pudding. Vary the flavors here with different types of sausage-try spicy Italian, smoked, and even crumbled breakfast sausage-or use cauliflower or Romanesco florets instead of broccoli. You might also add a sprinkling of fresh herbs with each layer of cheese, if desired. Chopped fresh parsley or sage would be delicious. Reheat leftover servings, covered with foil, in a 350°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes for a crisp-meets-custardy texture just like it came from the oven the first time around. Or, reheat portions in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes on high for a soft pudding-like consistency. You can prepare this through Step 4, but do not bake. Cover and refrigerate until an hour before you plan to serve it. Bring it to room temperature while the oven preheats and then bake as directed.

Stir in broccoli and onion, bread cubes, broth, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. (Make sure to scrape up any browned bits of food on sides of skillet and stir into mixture.)
- Coat a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon 3 cups broccoli mixture into prepared dish; sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Top with remaining broccoli mixture; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and casserole is heated through, about 30 minutes. Slice into 8 pieces and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon into small pieces, until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a medium bowl, then reduce the heat to medium.
- Add 3 more tablespoons of the butter and the garlic to the same pot. Cook until the butter has melted and the garlic is softened slightly, about 1 minute. Whisk in the flour and cook until it's bubbling all over and no longer raw, about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk, then bring to a steady simmer. Simmer until it has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the mozzarella and fontina until smooth. Season with 1 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few good grinds of pepper. Keep warm over low heat.
- Meanwhile, season the pot of boiling water generously with salt (it should taste like the ocean). Add the pasta and cook until al dente, adding the broccoli florets during the last 4 minutes of cooking, about 8 minutes total.
- Use a spider to transfer the pasta and broccoli into the cheese sauce and stir until evenly coated. Stir in the sausage. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Stir in the breadcrumbs and parsley then sprinkle evenly over the pasta. Top with the Parmesan. Bake until the sauce is bubbling around the sides and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh broccoli florets for the best flavor and texture. If you only have frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw and drain it thoroughly before using.
- Brown the sausage thoroughly before adding it to the casserole. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent the casserole from being greasy.
- Use a variety of cheeses in the casserole for a more complex flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or thyme, to the casserole for extra flavor.
- Serve the casserole hot out of the oven with a side of toast or fruit.
Conclusion:
This broccoli sausage breakfast bake is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy mornings. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage and broccoli. The casserole is packed with protein and vegetables, and it is sure to keep you full and satisfied all morning long.
