5. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes until tender and moisture has evaporated.

8. In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until smooth.
9. Spread the cooked sausage evenly in the prepared baking dish.
10. Layer the sautéed vegetables evenly over the sausage.
11. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
12. Pour the egg mixture evenly over everything.
13. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
14. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into 6 equal portions and serving.
Notes
Make sure to cook out excess moisture from the mushrooms and spinach before assembling. Extra liquid can prevent the egg bake from setting properly.
