Steps:

• Generously grease a 9×13 casserole dish. Set aside until needed.
• Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add a Tablespoon of olive oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add the sausage to the skillet and, using a spatula, break the sausage up into small chunks. Add in the Italian seasoning and rosemary and continue cooking until the sausage is golden brown and no pink remains. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a clean plate and set aside. Discard of remaining grease and return the pan to the burner.
• Add a little more olive oil to the pan. Then add the onions and peppers and cook until they begin to soften, about 6 minutes. Stir in the spinach, garlic, salt, and pepper and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Add in the sausage and stir to combine. Remove pan from heat and set aside until needed.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ricotta, and Parmesan cheese.

• In the meantime, whisk the eggs and whole milk in a small bowl and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Add one-half cup cheddar cheese and stir to combine.
• Transfer the sausage-potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and stir in the diced broccoli. Spread into an even layer and pour the egg mixture evenly over the top. Sprinkle remaining cheese across the top.
