Spinach-Sausage Gratinee
by Judy
Makes 4 servings

2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
4 garlic cloves, chopped
One package Bilinski's Kale Balsamic Chicken Sausage, sliced into 1/2" disks
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 Tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
12 ounces fresh baby spinach
Cooking spray
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
4 Tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Add onions, saute 3 to 4 minutes, then add garlic and saute one minute, stirring constantly.

Add sausage and saute 5 minutes. Add cayenne pepper and flour, saute 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Combine milk and eggs. Reduce heat to medium. Stir milk mixture into sausage mixture, bring to a boil and cook two minutes, stirring. Add spinach and heat till spinach wilts a bit, about two minutes. Spoon mixture into ramekins which have been coated with cooking spray (may also be baked in a 2-quart casserole dish, if preferred.)

Mix breadcrumbs with melted butter and spoon over spinach mixture. Top with Parmesan cheese evenly over each ramekin. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or 30 minutes if using casserole dish.
