2-3 quart baking dish
Cooking spray
Large mixing bowl
Mixing spoon
1/2 cup measure
1/4 teaspoon measure
Tablespoon
Large saute pan
Tongs
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 1/2 cups milk of your choice
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 links cooked breakfast sausage, cut into slices
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 2-3 quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the oats, baking powder, salt and dried basil. Stir in the milk and egg.
Place a large saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once oil is heated, add the sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and garlic. Saute, using the tongs to mix everything together, until spinach is slightly wilted, then remove from heat immediately.
Add the spinach mixture to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients along with 1/2 cup water. Stir until combined, then pour mixture into prepared baking dish.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes, or until all liquid has been absorbed and oats look set. Let cool slightly before serving.
