If you are in a breakfast rut, or trying to eat a little healthier and lean in the mornings you have to try frittata!! I love them because they are lean, cook quickly and also easy to change up! This is a family favorite sausage and parmesan frittata, however you can add or take away different ingredients as you please! This makes for a especially special mothers day brunch meal.
What is a frittata?
A frittata is basically baked eggs. Yes, very similar to quiche but sans the bread crust.
How to make sausage and egg frittata
- I love to use my cast iron pan. You can use it from start to finish! if you don't have one us an oven proof stainless steel.
- Cook up your ground sausage.
- Chop up your veggies and soften them in the pan with the ground sausage.
4. Beat the eggs until they're nice and frothy and pour into the hot pan, top with cheese. Let the edges set. Then throw it in a pre-heated oven! it'll only take about 5 minutes to cook from there :)
Feel free to add in other veggies or different meats. I love to add some chopped spinach, tomatoes (or fresh made salsa) 
TIP: Make sure you cast iron pan (or any pan) is well greased, or non-stick. If you're cast iron pan is in need of seasoning again so it will remain non-stick check out this article from Real Simple about how to season them again.
Make them up for mothers day, with a bunch of fresh fruit and nice hot cup of tea! She will be in heaven.

Sounds delicious but when do you add the chopped spinach?
Desarae says
Add in the spinach after you've softened the veggies but before the eggs!
