Ingredients

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

1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Arrange 6 bread slices in dish in one layer, covering bottom of pan completely and cutting slices to fit if needed. Tear remaining slice into smaller pieces to fill in any gaps.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to baking dish, scattering over bread.
Heat skillet over medium and add white and pale green scallion parts. Cook, stirring, until softened and just starting to take on color, about 3 minutes. Add spinach, stir to combine, and cook until warmed through, 1-2 minutes more. Top sausage with spinach mixture, then top spinach mixture with cheese.

Uncover dish and transfer to a cold oven. Heat oven to 375°F and bake casserole until eggs are puffed and cheese is browned, about 40 minutes.
Let casserole cool several minutes. Top with dark green scallion parts.

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.
