🔪 How To Make Chicken Sausage Lasagna
- Step 1: In a frying pan, fry the eggs in butter, add salt and pepper, and stir. Move aside.
- Step 2: In another frying pan, fry the chopped sausages, and add cream and broth. Stir until well mixed and cooked.
- Step 3: Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin slices.
- Step 4: Layer the lasagna in a baking dish: start with sausages, then add zucchini slices, followed by the scrambled eggs, and sprinkle with cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used up.
- Step 5: Cover the lasagna with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to brown the top.
- Step 6: Once baked, remove it from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve your sausage lasagna. Enjoy!
💡 Hint: Pat zucchini slices dry with paper towels to avoid excess moisture in the lasagna.
👩🍳 Expert Tips
