Step-by-step

• Break up the raw sausage into small pieces and place it in a medium bowl.
• Squeeze any remaining liquid out of the spinach, and break it up into the same bowl as the sausage.
• Sprinkle the feta cheese over the mixture and toss lightly until combined.
• Lightly spread the mixture onto the bottom of a greased 13x9 casserole dish or 18 greased muffin cups.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl beat the eggs, cream, almond milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg together until fully combined.
• Gently pour into the pan or muffin cups until about 3/4 the way full.
• Bake at 375 degrees (F) for 50 minutes (for the casserole) or (30 minutes) for the muffin cups – or until fully set.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
