Broccoli Brunch Casserole

Ingredients:

Nonstick cooking spray

8 ounces ground turkey sausage

3 1/2 cups broccoli florets, chopped

1 1/2 cups shredded, part skim mozzarella cheese, divided

8 eggs

1 cup part skim ricotta cheese

1/4 cup skim milk

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 Roma (Plum) tomato, thinly sliced

Yield:

8 slices

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Sauté sausage until evenly brown, drain well, crumble, and cool slightly. In a medium bowl, mix cooked sausage, broccoli, and a 1/2-cup of mozzarella. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until frothy and then combine with a 1/2-cup of mozzarella, ricotta cheese, milk, pepper, and salt. Spoon the sausage mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread the egg mixture over the sausage mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella, and arrange the tomato slices on top. Cover with foil, and bake 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
