Ingredients

• ½ lb ground bulk sausage (find it fresh at Locals’ Market!)

• 12 oz (about 1¾ cups) diced butternut squash (fresh or frozen)

• 2 cups chopped Lacinato kale (or baby spinach as a quick swap)

• 12 large eggs

• ½ tsp red pepper flakes

• ½ tsp kosher salt

• ½ tsp cracked black pepper

• ¼ tsp dried thyme

• ¾ cup whole milk ricotta cheese

 

How to Make It

1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F and grab a cast-iron skillet (or any oven-safe pan).

2. Brown the Sausage
Cook the sausage over medium-high heat until mostly browned, then reduce the heat slightly.

3. Add the Veggies
Toss in your diced butternut squash and cook a few minutes until lightly browned. Add kale or spinach and sauté until wilted.

4. Mix the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and thyme.

5. Combine & Bake
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and veggies in the skillet. Dollop ricotta across the top for creamy pockets of flavor.

6. Bake & Enjoy
Transfer the skillet to your oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the center is set and the top looks golden and slightly glossy. Let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and enjoy warm!
