Hearty Sausage and Cheese Frittata

Hearty Egg and Sausage Frittata

This is one of my favorite recipes when I'm having guests stay over for a  night, or want to prep something for breakfast that will make it through part of the week. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a lover or ricotta even in my breakfast food! I cut this into 8 pieces, 2 pieces per serving. You can see that you may also use the macro count from the 21-Day Fix programs in order to track your intake as opposed to counting your calories. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!

(Makes 4 Servings)

INGREDIENTS:

• 10 oz. Turkey Sausage (about 3 sausages), casings removed
• 1 ½ cups Broccoli Florets, chopped
• ½ Red Bell Pepper, diced
• 2 Green Onions, thinly sliced
• 6 Egg Whites
• 2 Eggs
• ½ cup Low-fat Ricotta Cheese
• ½ cup grated Low-fat Cheddar Cheese

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat a 9- or 10-inch ovenproof, stick-resistant (or seasoned) skillet on medium-high; mist with non-stick cooking spray. Add sausage, broccoli, pepper and onions and cook, breaking up sausage with a wooden spoon, until sausage is crumbled and no longer pink; about 3 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk egg whites, eggs and ricotta until foamy and just a few lumps remain. Pour over top of sausage mixture; cover, reduce heat to medium and cook until bottom and sides are firm and top is almost set, about 7 minutes.

3. Preheat broiler to high. Uncover skillet and sprinkle cheddar over top of egg mixture. Broil until center is set and cheddar is melted and bubbly; 2-3 minutes.
