Notes
When cooking down spinach, it can often be a quick change from leaf to a bitter clump of nothing. Keep an eye out for when the spinach is being cooked down as you want to keep the nutrients and flavor.
Some breakfast sausages can be very salty, and when combined with marbled cheese, it can be overpowering. Be sure to taste the sausages when they’re cooked beforehand and adjust the saltiness by adding more vegetables or eggs.
If you can’t find Colby Jack cheese, you can also use any marble cheese. If you would like to use any ingredients from your fridge, feel free to include that as well.
If you are a vegetarian, in lieu of breakfast sausages, portobello mushrooms will also do the trick! About one cup will also be enough to have that meaty flavor without it being too overpowering.
