Turkey sausage, parmesan and artichoke bake.

Another Newlywed recipe. I put it together yesterday afternoon and just stuck it in the oven this morning for breakfast. Definitely a hit. I can't wait to have people spend the night here so I can make it for them in the morning! Any takers?

Turkey Sausage, Parmesan, and Artichoke Bake

1T EVOO

6 oz.turkey sausage, casings removed

1/2C finely diced sweet yellow onion

2 large eggs

2/3C whole milk

1/2C grated Parmesan

1/2t chopped fresh thyme (I used dried)

1/4t kosher salt

1/8t freshly ground black pepper (or whatever you have. Mine wasn't freshly ground)

1/2C diced marinated artichoke hearts

2C day-old bread, cubed

4 thin slices tomato

4 fresh basil leaves (I just used dried flakes because I had them)

1/3C grated mozzarella

Heat oil in skillet, add sausage and onions. Cook 4-5 minutes, breaking up sausage with spatula, until onions are soft and sausage is browned. Remove from heat (the sausage will complete cooking in the oven).

Beat eggs, milk, Parm, thyme, salt and pepper in large bowl. Stir in sausage and onion mixture, artichokes and bread cubes. 

Spoon into small casserole dish. Top with tomato slices, basil and mozzarella. 

If you want to bake it the next morning like I did, just cover and refrigerate.

Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes (or until puffed and golden).
