Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5-6 russet potatoes small to medium sized
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3/4 pound chicken breakfast sausage
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 6 cups kale chopped
  • 10 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In a 9x13 baking dish, drizzle the olive oil.
  • Peel and thinly slice potatoes (a mandolin makes this quick, but isn't necessary).
  • Layer the potatoes around the edges of the baking dish, and covered the bottom, overlapping them.
  • Bake the potatoes for 20 minutes, then take out from the oven and reduce the heat to 375 degrees F.
  • While the potatoes are baking, saute the bell pepper over medium high heat for 5 minutes, then add the breakfast sausage, and continue to cook for about 10 minutes, until sausage is browned and cooked through.
  • Add chopped kale to the baking dish, then top with sausage and peppers.
  • Beat eggs, and add 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Pour eggs into the baking dish (the eggs won't fully cover the vegetables), and top the dish with cheese.
  • Cover the dish with foil, and bake for 30-35 minutes until the center of the egg dish is almost fully set. It's ready to be uncovered when the center has just a small amount of unbaked egg.
  • Remove the foil, and continue baking uncovered for 5 minutes to slightly brown cheese and fully set the eggs.
  • Use a thin spatula to loosen the potatoes from the sides of the baking dish before dishing up slices.
