Roasted Bell Pepper and Sausage Frittata

We're no longer drowning in eggs, but we still have a fair few, so this seemed like a good option for this morning's breakfast. I just used store-bought roasted bell peppers, but feel free to roast your own fresh if you'd like to go the extra mile. I also used turkey sausage and omitted the oil because I'm still trying to watch my weight, but go ahead and use a little oil and pork or beef sausage if you're not calorically constrained. Likewise, I used a low-fat mozzarella cheese, but go ahead and use whichever cheese you like best.

Roasted Bell Pepper and Sausage Frittata

Slightly adapted from The Good Egg by Marie Simmons

Ingredients

  • up to 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 225g turkey sausage, casings removed
  • 2 roasted red bell peppers, peeled and cut into strips
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/2 tsp. coarse sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp. black peppercorns, ground
  • 1/2 c. grated low-fat mozzarella

Directions

  1. Heat the oil (if using) over medium heat.
  2. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up with a spatula or wooden spoon, until browned (~5 minutes).
  3. Add the bell peppers and garlic and cook for another minute or two.
  4. Beat the eggs with the parsely, salt, and pepper and pour the egg mixture into the pan.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 4-5 minutes.
  6. Slide a spatula under the edge of the eggs and lift to allow raw egg to flow under. Repeat at several other points around the edge of the pan.
  7. Sprinkle with cheese, cover, and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
  8. Once mostly set, place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese and set the top.
  9. Cut into wedges and serve.
