Instructions

1. 1Dice the cremini mushrooms, potatoes, bell pepper, and onion into ½-inch pieces. Mince the garlic and roughly chop the kale.
2. 2Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Italian pork sausage and cook for 8–10 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Add the minced garlic and chopped kale, stirring constantly for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and kale is wilted. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
3. 3In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes, mushrooms, bell pepper, and onion. Cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring every 3–4 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and vegetables are golden at the edges. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return the sausage mixture to the skillet and toss together until combined.
4. 4In a separate bowl, whisk together the large eggs, whole milk, Old Bay seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper until fully combined.
5. 5Transfer the sausage and vegetable mixture to a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot and spread into an even layer. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.
6. 6Cover the pot and cook over low heat for 25–30 minutes, stirring gently halfway through, until the egg is mostly set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Uncover and cook for an additional 3–5 minutes until the top is set and lightly golden.
7. 7Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes. Divide evenly into 12 airtight containers while still warm. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
