Challenge- Breakfast Frittatas



For this challenge I used the following ingredients from my Dominion Harvest mystery box-

  • Eggs
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • White Cheddar Cheese

Other Ingredients-

  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 2 diced jalapenos, seeds and ribs removed (I left them in one because I like the heat)
  • 1 1/2 cups of crumbled turkey sausage (I used pre-cooked turkey sausage crumbles to make it easier)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
First, heat up the olive oil and cook the sausage for about 3 minutes over medium heat in a non-stick skillet. Then add all of the veggies and allow to cook for about 2 more minutes.
Next, scramble 10 eggs and season with salt and pepper. Then pour over the sausage mixture. Allow to cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes while occasionally running a spatula around the edge to let the runny eggs reach the heat (like you would for an omelet!).
Once the bottom is firm and lightly browned, place a large plate (bigger than the skillet) over the top of the skillet, hold with a hot mitt, and flip. Then slide the frittata, cooked side up, back into the skillet. Top with 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese.  Put in the oven at 350 degrees for 5-7 more minutes or until cooked through and firm and the cheese is lightly browned.

This is an amazing make ahead breakfast. I find that most people don't eat breakfast or eat something that is not really healthy just because it is fast and easy. The above recipe takes very little time and is FULL of flavor.  PUT DOWN the donut and WALK AWAY!!!! Now is your chance to make a choice to be healthier!
