VEGETARIAN BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
Steps:
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat 2 large baking sheets with nonstick spray. Lightly mist a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
- Place the vegetables in a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Divide the vegetables evenly between the two sheets and spread them into a single layer. Roast the vegetables until tender, about 20 minutes, tossing the vegetables on the pan so they cook evenly and switching the pans' positions on the upper and lower racks once halfway through. Transfer half of the roasted vegetables to the prepared casserole dish and spread into an even layer. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs together with the milk, garlic, and Italian seasoning until evenly blended. Gently pour it into the casserole dish. Scatter the remaining vegetables evenly over the top, then dollop the ricotta over the top in small spoonfuls (I like to add about 20 to 24 spoonfuls; you want to each slice to have a few dollops, but have them be large enough so that you can actually taste them).
- Bake the casserole for 35 to 40 minutes, until the casserole is golden on top and the center no longer jiggles when you shake the pan. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil to heat, then add the sausage and cook until browned and crispy, breaking up any big clumps with the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the sausage to a large bowl, leaving behind any rendered fat. Add the mushrooms and leeks to the skillet with the fat and cook until they are softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and red bell peppers. Sprinkle in the paprika, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook for 5 to 8 minutes more. Add the mushroom mixture to the bowl with the sausage. Stir together and taste for seasoning.
- In a blender, add the spinach, eggs, hot sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Blend until smooth. Stir the spinach mixture and Gruyere into the sausage mixture a little at a time.
- Spray four 5-ounce ramekins with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the ramekins. Bake until the casseroles are entirely set, 35 to 50 minutes. Let the casseroles cool slightly before eating. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use high-quality sausage: The sausage is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality sausage that you enjoy the taste of. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, high-quality meat and spices.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in this casserole should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use a variety of cheeses: The different cheeses in this casserole add flavor and richness. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but I recommend using a combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
- Make sure the casserole is cooked through: The casserole is cooked through when the center of the casserole is hot and bubbly. You can check the temperature of the casserole with a meat thermometer. The casserole should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the casserole rest before serving: Letting the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving will allow the flavors to meld together and the casserole to set. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
