Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Place sausage in a large skillet with ¼ inch water; cook over medium heat until water evaporates and sausages are evenly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble sausages. Set aside.

Step 3

Combine sweet potatoes and butter in a bowl; spread into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Fold in cottage cheese, Cheddar-mozzarella cheese, spinach, onion, and reserved sausages; spoon over sweet potatoes.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool before serving for 5 minutes.
