Protein Packed Sausage and Veggie Frittata

Hey Guys,

Sorry it has been forever since I have posted! It has been a hectic summer! I'm glad fall is approaching though, and we can get back to our regular postings of 3-4 times per week. I'm excited for a new season of cooking and working out! Below is a little breakfast goodie I thought up this morning. I have never attempted a frittata before, and I'm happy to say it turned out really well! We'll definitely be having this again for breakfast soon!

Ingredients:
  • 6 eggs
  • 4 egg whites
  • 3.5 small links "nitrate and msg free" chicken sausage (i used andouille style)
  • 3/4 cup diced mushrooms
  • 1 cup diced broccoli
  • 1/2 cup lowfat milk
  • 4 oz cheese (I used Swiss, but Parmesan would be good too!)
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to broil
  • In bowl mix eggs and milk and set aside
  • In oven safe skillet, spray pan with olive oil, and saute sausage, broccoli, mushrooms on med-high heat.
  • Pour egg mixture over sausage, broccoli and mushrooms
  • Sprinkle cheese on top of eggs and cook for a few minutes until eggs set
  • Place skillet in oven on broil for about 5 minutes until browned
  • Enjoy!!!
