Broccoli and Cheese Brunch Casserole

Ingredients:
8 oz ground sausage
1 1/4 cup (about 10 oz pkg) chopped broccoli (thawed and drained if from a package)
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup ricotta cheese
8 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 roma (plum) tomato, thinly sliced (or diced), these are optional!

Directions:
Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 7x11" baking dish.
In a bowl, mix cooked sausage, broccoli, and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese. In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, pepper, and salt. Spoon the sausage mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread the Cheddar and ricotta mixture over the sausage mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese. Arrange tomato slices on top.
Cover with aluminum foil, and bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Uncover, and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
