Notes
I started with Italian sausage that I had already cooked as part of my weekly ingredient prep. You can use any cooked protein here, like bacon, pancetta, or ham.
It's important to let your egg bake rest for 10 minutes before cutting into it. There will be a carryover cooking time, which will help it set up and make it easier to slice.
