Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the mild Italian sausage for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Add diced onion and sliced mushrooms, sauté for 3-4 minutes, then stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Transfer the sausage mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Layer the fresh spinach over the sausage, then crumble feta cheese on top.
  4. Whisk together the eggs, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the assembled layers in the baking dish, shaking gently to distribute.
  6. Sprinkle sliced tomatoes and grated Parmesan cheese on top, adding fresh basil if desired.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes, slice, and serve warm.
