Difficulty

Easy

Ingredients

1 Tablspoon avocado oil

1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups vegetable broth

1 cup brown rice

4 cups baby spinach

8 ounce sharp cheddar cheese, shredded, and divided

16 ounce breakfast sausage

1 dozen eggs, lightly beaten

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. Place oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Place onion and garlic in the pan, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until translucent and tender. Add vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Stir in the brown rice, and let the broth return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until all the liquid has absorbed.  
  3. Remove the rice from the stove, and place in a large bowl. Stir in baby spinach and half of the cheese. Set aside to let cool slightly.
  4. While the rice cooks, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, and cook, stirring often to crumble, until the sausage is cooked through, about 5-8 minutes. Drain and add the sausage to the rice mixture. Once the mixture has cooled slightly, add the eggs, and stir just until combined.
  5.  Pour the mixture into a greased 13X9-inch baking dish. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are just cooked through. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and cook just until melted and bubbly. ENJOY!
