This savory bake combines spinach, sausage, and cheese in a delightful dish perfect for any meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking throughout the dish.
Cook the frozen spinach according to the package instructions, then drain it thoroughly.
Squeeze out as much water as possible to avoid a soggy dish.
Spread the cheddar cheese evenly in the bottom of a buttered baking dish.
Butter the dish generously to prevent sticking.
Distribute the cooked spinach over the cheese layer.
Spread the spinach evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess fat and layer it over the spinach.
Use a wooden spoon to break the sausage into small pieces for even cooking.
Sauté the mushrooms and green onions in butter until tender, then spread them over the sausage.
Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream until well combined. Pour this mixture over the layered ingredients in the baking dish.
Whisk thoroughly to ensure a smooth and creamy mixture.
Top the dish with shredded Swiss cheese and sprinkle with paprika.
Distribute the cheese evenly for a golden crust.
Bake the dish uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.
Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your savory spinach and sausage bake!
Allowing the dish to rest helps it set and makes serving easier.
