It’s Mother’s Day weekend, and for today Friday Favorites choose I present this Sausage, kale and baked egg with mozzarella in honor of my mother in law who loved greens no matter how you served them. And I’m pretty sure my mom would have loved this Egg Bake with Sausage and Kale inspired by Sabatino’s Costco Smoked Mozzarella Chicken Sausage with Artichokes and Garlic.

I loved this combination of ingredients in chicken sausage as soon as I tried it, and used it in a variety of dishes when I discovered it years ago. The sausages disappeared and eventually reappeared at Costco, and when I spotted them again, I bought a few packs for the freezer and made this delicious breakfast dish again to take better pictures.

I love this egg bake recipe with the chicken sausage and kale, but you can use any savory low carb sausage you prefer and any type of greens you fancy in a dish of breakfast like this. And if you want a few more eggs, you can definitely make that change too! But if you are looking for a tasty breakfast to cook during the weekend, I hope you try this idea!

What ingredients do you need?

• pre-cooked garlic chicken sausage or other sausage
• olive oil
• kale leaves
• Green onions

What is an Egg Bake?

This type of recipe that I call an egg bake is a little different from the low carb breakfast casseroles that I often make on the weekends; baked eggs contain more vegetables, meat and cheese, with just enough eggs to hold them together.

What can you use if you don’t like kale?

If you’re not a fan of kale, you can use another type of greens like spinach, collard greens, or Swiss chard in this delicious breakfast. Spinach cooks faster in the pan than other types of greens, so adjust this cooking time.

Can you use other types of cheese?

Mozzarella is excellent here to let the flavor of the sausage and kale shine through, but any mild white cheese that melts well can be used.
