• 1 medium Celery stalk, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced

How to make Sweet Potato & Sage Breakfast Bake

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 3 cups diced sweet potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender but still firm. Remove the sweet potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
3. Add 1 pound breakfast sausage to the same skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease and remove the sausage, setting it aside with the sweet potatoes.
4. In the same skillet (add a touch more oil if needed), add 1 medium diced yellow onion and 1 medium diced celery stalk. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for another minute until fragrant.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1.5 cups whole milk, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage, 0.75 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper until thoroughly combined.
6. Evenly spread the cooked sweet potatoes, sausage, onion, and celery mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top.
7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over all the ingredients in the baking dish, ensuring everything is well saturated.
8. B Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and slightly puffed.
9. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the bake to set further and makes for cleaner slices.
