For the casserole:
7 slices white sandwich bread
1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
Softened unsalted butter or nonstick vegetable cooking spray (for pan)
4 scallions, white and pale green and dark green parts separated, thinly sliced
1 (10-ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon mustard powder

Tips for a Scrumptious Sausage and Spinach Breakfast Casserole:

- Opt for high-quality sausage: Selecting a flavorful sausage, such as a spicy breakfast sausage or an Italian sausage, adds depth to the casserole. - Sauté the vegetables: Before adding the vegetables to the casserole, sautéing them in butter or olive oil enhances their flavor and texture. - Drain excess fat: After cooking the sausage, drain any excess fat to avoid a greasy casserole. - Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach imparts a vibrant color and a slightly bitter flavor, balancing the richness of the sausage. - Combine muffin mix and milk according to the package instructions: This ensures the proper consistency of the batter for the casserole. - Don't overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough casserole. Stir until the ingredients are just combined. - Bake until golden brown: The casserole is ready when it has a golden brown crust and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
