Ingredients:
- 1 lb bulk Italian sausage
- 1 onion
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 cup mushrooms
- 1 package frozen chopped spinach
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 5 eggs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions:
-
Preheat: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter, ensuring that it’s evenly coated to prevent sticking.
-
Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks, until it’s browned and cooked through, which should take about 8 minutes. Once done, remove the sausage from the skillet and drain it on paper towels to remove any excess grease.
-
Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a drizzle of oil if needed, then cook the chopped onion and bell pepper until they’re softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Next, add the mushrooms and continue cooking until they’re tender, which should take about 3 minutes.
-
Add Spinach and Sausage: Stir in the frozen chopped spinach (make sure it’s thawed and excess water squeezed out) and the cooked Italian sausage. Mix everything together well until evenly combined.
-
Layer in Baking Dish: Transfer the sausage and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
-
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the sausage and vegetable mixture in the baking dish.
-
Prepare Topping: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, milk, melted butter, beaten eggs, and grated parmesan cheese. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth batter-like consistency.
-
Pour Topping: Pour the prepared topping mixture over the sausage and vegetable layer in the baking dish, ensuring that it’s spread out evenly to cover the entire surface.
-
Bake: Place the assembled cobbler into the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy, and the filling is cooked through.
-
Serve: Once done, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice into squares and serve warm.
-
Enjoy: This Italian Breakfast Cobbler is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, served alongside a fresh fruit cup and some miniature muffins for a complete and satisfying brunch meal that’s sure to impress your guests.
