SAUSAGE, EGG AND KALE CASSEROLE



Sausage, Egg and Kale Casserole image

Finding a brunch dish that feeds a crowd can be a challenge, but this large-scale frittata does just that by layering sausage, kale and fontina with cream-thickened eggs. Use any fresh sausage you like (chorizo, merguez, or hot pork sausage work well), and swap in mild Swiss chard or peppery mustard greens in place of the kale. You can prepare this dish the night before serving by cooking through Step 5 and layering the sausage, vegetables and cheese in the baking dish. Let it warm up slightly at room temperature before adding the eggs, then bake as directed. Baking times will vary depending on how cold or warm the dish is, as well as its depth and ingredients, so keep an eye on the eggs; they should be just set in the center.

Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Softened butter, for greasing the dish
6 teaspoons olive oil
3/4 pound fresh hot sausage, like Italian, chorizo or merguez, casings removed
1 large red onion (about 12 ounces), halved, then sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick wedges
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 cups torn kale leaves (about 3 ounces)
10 ounces grape tomatoes, halved crosswise
3/4 cup diced fontina (about 3 ounces)
12 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream or milk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (about 1 ounce)
Aleppo pepper, for finishing (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Generously butter a large 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add sausage and cook, stirring to break it up, until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish, spreading it in an even layer.
  • Add 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Add red onion, salt it lightly and cook, stirring frequently, until it starts to take on color, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish and arrange evenly on top of the sausage.
  • Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet and heat over medium. Add kale, season it lightly with salt and pepper, cover and cook, occasionally tossing with tongs until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish and arrange evenly on top of the onions. Top with the grape tomatoes and fontina.
  • Whisk together the eggs and cream in a large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. (If making ahead of time, wrap the baking dish and egg mixture separately and refrigerate until needed.)
  • Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the baking dish, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until the eggs are just set in the middle, 25 to 30 minutes. (Increase the baking time by about 15 minutes if the components were refrigerated ahead of time.).
  • Broil until the top is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with Aleppo, if using.

Middle Eastern eggs with merguez & pistachios image

Bring some bold flavours into this brunch for two with harissa, sumac and pistachios - swap for chipolatas or chorizo if you prefer

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Breakfast, Brunch, Dinner, Lunch, Supper

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

drizzle of olive or rapeseed oil
1 small red onion , chopped
4 merguez sausages
15 cherry tomatoes , halved
pinch of sugar (any will do)
2 tsp harissa paste (preferably rose harissa, as it's fragrant and not too hot)
2 eggs
2 wholemeal pitta breads
pinch of sumac or paprika (optional)
2 tbsp Greek yogurt
few parsley sprigs, chopped
1 tbsp shelled pistachio , roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a heavy-bottomed, small frying pan - a cast-iron one is perfect. Add the onion and cook for a few mins until soft, then push them to one side of the pan. Add the sausages and fry for 5-10 mins, rolling them around in the pan until golden brown. Add the tomatoes, sugar and harissa, season well and add a splash of water. Cook for 5-10 mins, stirring now and then, until the tomatoes have cooked down to a thick, chunky sauce.
  • Push the sausages aside in the pan so that you can create 2 large holes in the sauce using a spoon. Crack the eggs into the holes and cook for 4-5 mins until the whites are just set and the yolk is still runny. Meanwhile, toast the pitta breads.
  • Sprinkle each egg with a little sumac, dollop on some yogurt, then sprinkle over the parsley and pistachios. Cut each pitta bread in half and serve on the side.
