Ingredients

• 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
• 8 oz Baby bella mushrooms, sliced
• 2 Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), diced
• 1 Yellow onion, diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 6 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil or butter (for sautéing)
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter.

Step 2

Brown the Italian sausage in the skillet, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Once cooked through, transfer the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess grease.

Step 3

In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until they soften. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Spray the inside of a crock pot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Layer the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and shredded mozzarella cheese in the crock pot, repeating until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.

Step 7

Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the crock pot.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.

Step 9

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until the egg mixture is set and cooked through.

Step 10

Once done, uncover and let the dish cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
