Equipment

▢
Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients

▢ 3 chicken sausage sliced 1" thick
▢ 6 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced in half
▢ 2 cups baby spinach heaping cups
▢ 2 tablespoon olive oil
▢ 1 teaspoon salt
▢ pepper to taste

Instructions

Prep sausage and mushrooms. Slice sausages at the diagonal about 1" thick. Then give the mushrooms a very quick bath in cool water. Do not let them sit more than a couple of minutes, just to help remove residual dirt.
6 ounces baby bella mushrooms, 3 chicken sausage
With a paper towel, gently remove dirt and debris from mushrooms, then lay on a clean kitchen towel to dry as much as possible. Gently rub them with the towel to remove as much moisture as possible. Slice in half.
Heat a cast iron skillet or stainless steel pan over medium high heat, and add 2 tablespoon of oil. You want to have plenty of oil to cook the mushrooms, so they don’t release too much water and get a nice brown finish. Stir and cook for about 5-7 minutes, then sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon salt.
2 tablespoon olive oil
Once the mushrooms are nice and brown and slightly tender, add the sausage. Cook on medium high heat for at least 5-10 minutes, until sausage turns golden brown and has a nice sear.
Once mushrooms and sausages are cooked through, turn off the heat and then add 2 large handfuls of spinach and mix in. You want the spinach to just wilt from the residual heat from the pan and other ingredients. Serve immediately.
2 cups baby spinach

Notes

If adding tomatoes to this sausage breakfast skillet recipe, add them after cooking the mushrooms and sausage. Saute till tender, about 5 minutes, then remove from heat and add spinach.

Store leftovers in the fridge in a covered container for 3-5 days.
