Mozzarella & Spinach Breakfast Casserole image

Sun-dried tomatoes and sausage add lots of texture and flavor to this gooey casserole. We've even enjoyed it reheated after a night game at our local college. It's always a winner in my book. -Nancy Murphy, Mount Dora, Florida

I'm not a fan of spinach, but I loved this casserole! The cheese and eggs were so flavorful that I didn't even notice the spinach.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover spinach. It's also a great make-ahead breakfast or brunch dish.

This casserole was a disaster! The eggs were overcooked and the spinach was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I'm not usually a fan of breakfast casseroles, but this one was really good. The spinach and mozzarella were a great combination, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.
