| Early Girl Breakfast Casserole |
I had lots of fabulous food while in Asheville and ate several times at the wonderful Early Girl Eatery http://earlygirleatery.com/. This recipe is my imagined recreation of a delicious breakfast scramble I ate there on the last day of my visit. I transformed it from a stove top scramble to an oven baked strata or casserole. I didn't measure any of the ingredients so I've listed approximations for those of you who need structure to feel safe.
Prep Work
-Peel and quarter 2 large sweet potatoes. Boil them with cinnamon stick, cloves, and salt. Dice when cool.
-Brown some ground breakfast sausage. I used a maple flavored breakfast sausage from the meat counter at Sprouts grocery store. I removed the meat from the casings before browning.

2-1/2 c. diced sweet potato
2 c. cooked ground breakfast sausuage
8 eggs
1-2 c. milk
6 slices wheat sandwhich bread crusts removed, lightly buttered one side, diced
seasoned salt to taste
fresh chopped chives for garnish
Preheat oven to 375. Spray a 9 x 9 in. baking pan with non-stick spray. Beat eggs, milk, and seasoned salt together in large bowl until well combined. Add sweet potato, sausage, and bread. Stir gently. Make sure bread gets good and soaky. Pour into greaed pan and bake 35-45 min. until golden brown and set in middle. If it starts to get too brown, lay a piece of foil loosely over the top.
Variations: This would have been wonderful with some browned bacon added and/or some cheese. You can really add what you want in terms of ingredients and seasonings. The sagey tatste of the sausage with the cinnamon-y clove taste of the sweet potatoes is divine.
You could make this whole thing the night before and store it in the fridge to bake the next morning. Enjoy!
