Healthy & Easy Chicken Sausage Frittata

I've been looking to make a frittata for about 2 years now. I know, weird goal. Nothing was really stopping me, I've just never made one. Anyway, I woke up Sunday morning and wanted to make something special and a frittata seemed like the perfect healthy breakfast. I altered a recipe from SkinnyTaste to fit the ingredients I already had in my fridge.

As Claire Robinson from the Food Network says: the great thing about a frittata is it's like an omelette, but you don't have to flip it. Well, I happen to not be able to flip omelettes (also I think they're gross; great in theory but usually gross in taste), so the frittata is a perfect fit for me!

One day I will take an appetizing picture of my food. But not today!

HealthySimpleSmart's Chicken Sausage Frittata (adapted from SkinnyTaste's Recipe)

4 Large Eggs

4 Egg Whites

1/2 white onion, sliced

1 link chicken sausage, diced (I used Trader Joe's Jalapeno Chicken Sausage)

3 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup thawed frozen spinach)

2 Tbs Olive Oil

1/4 c. Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

First, in an oven safe pan, saute the onions until soft (3-5 min). Add the chicken sausage and cook an additional 2-3 minutes to heat. Finally, add the spinach, saute until wilted.

While onions are cooking crack eggs and egg whites into a bowl and add Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Add a little bit of water if you like your eggs fluffy. Mix well.

Pour egg mixture over onions, sausage, and spinach. Cook until sides start to firm up. Put the pan in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Let sit for 2-5 minutes before serving. Serves 4.

I suggest serving the frittata with some sriracha. Next time I'd love to add some asparagus or something that will give it a little more crunch!
