Sausage and Broccoli Breakfast Pie

This is such a great breakfast pie, and healthy too. This recipe makes two pies. We served this with a mixed berry-peach-mint salad.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp butter, oil, or spray
• 1 large sweet potato, peeled and thinly sliced into rounds
• 8 eggs, whisked
• salt and pepper
• 2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp herb de provence
• 1 small sweet onion, diced
• 1/4 c sun-dried tomatoes, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
• 2 c swiss cheese, diced or shredded
• 2 c broccoli florets
• 2 c ground breakfast sausage

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease two pie pans with butter.
2. Lightly steam the broccoli and give it a little chop to make small bite-sized pieces.
3. Line the bottom of the pie pans with the rounds of sweet potatoes.
4. Whisk the eggs and mix in the spices, onion, tomatoes, garlic, and cheese.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes (the egg with sink to the bottom but that's ok).
6. If the sausage is not precooked, cook it a bit over the stovetop until almost cooked.
7. Sprinkle the broccoli and sausage over the top of the pies.
8. Cook for 35-50 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through (test with a fork).
