SBD Mexican Breakfast Bake

 

½ pound bulk chorizo sausage

¼ C. diced onions

1 C. diced bell peppers

½ C. sliced white mushrooms

2 T. minced garlic

2 C. packed chopped baby kale

12 eggs

½ C. whole milk

1 C. shredded full-fat cheddar cheese

1 C. shredded Colby Jack cheese

¼ C. chopped fresh cilantro

 

Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Lightly coat with butter a 9 × 13-inch baking dish and set it aside. Heat the sausage in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks, until it is cooked through. Remove the sausage, reserving the grease in the pan. Add the onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the mushrooms are browned. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the kale and stir until wilted. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add to the bowl the cooled vegetable and sausage mixture, half the cheddar, and half the Colby Jack. Stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbling. Cut into 8 pieces. Serve warm, garnished with cilantro.
