# Preparation Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

04 - Transfer the cooked sausage and sautéed vegetables to the prepared baking dish, distributing evenly across the bottom.
05 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Fold in half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese mixture.
06 - Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables. Distribute the remaining cheese evenly over the top.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until the egg mixture is completely set and the top is golden brown.
08 - Allow the bake to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, cut into portions, and serve warm.
