Ingredients
•
1 (8 ounce) package vegetarian sausage links (such as Morningstar Farms®)
•
1/2 cup water, or more as needed
•
4 cups shredded sweet potatoes
•
1/4 cup butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2
Place sausage in a large skillet with ¼ inch water; cook over medium heat until water evaporates and sausages are evenly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble sausages. Set aside.
3
Combine sweet potatoes and butter in a bowl; spread into the prepared baking dish.
4
Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Fold in cottage cheese, Cheddar-mozzarella cheese, spinach, onion, and reserved sausages; spoon over sweet potatoes.

Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool before serving for 5 minutes.
