Breakfast Sausage Frittata

Ingredients

1 tbsp Coconut Oil

1 lb Chicken Breakfast Sausage (remove casings)

12 Eggs (lightly beaten)

2 cups Baby Spinach (use as much as you prefer (1-2 cups))

2 Roma Tomatoes (sliced into 1/4 inch rounds)

1 1/2 tsps Fennel Seeds

1/2 tsp Sea Salt

1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Melt 1 T of coconut oil over medium heat and brown the sausage in a large, ovenproof saute pan. If you do not know if your pan is ovenproof, you can dump the ingredients into a casserole dish before putting it all in the oven.

  3. While sausage is browning, whisk the eggs together.

  4. Once the sausage is done cooking, add the whisked eggs and stir them into the sausage. Next, stir in the amount of spinach you prefer. This is also the point to stir in any other veggies you might want to add. Let this cook until the eggs start to set, approximately 4 minutes.

  5. Lay the tomato slices over the top of the eggs. Sprinkle the fennel seeds, black pepper, and salt evenly over the tomatoes.

  6. Transfer the frittata to the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the middle does not jiggle when you shake the pan. Begin to watch at 20 minutes (all ovens are different). Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm.

NOtes

  • Prefer meatless? Use beans and/or as many veggies as you wish and omit the meat.

  • Healthy Fat Additions: Healthy Fat (which helps keep you full longer) - add sliced avocado OR guacamole, another idea is to cook green or black olives into the frittata

  • To Add Flavor: Top with Bob's Red Hot Sauce or a zero sugar salsa (you can be assured of no sugar if you make it homemade otherwise look at labels when shopping)
