Chicken Sausage & Ricotta Frittata

Good morning! I've got an eggselent frittata recipe to share. This is perfect to make ahead of time and have for breakfast for a few days or a great brunch recipe! It's easy like this wonderful Saturday morning.

frittata

I'll admit I got a little heavy handed with the cheese! Eggs and cheese are a match made in heaven, though, so I can't be blamed. Worth it. This tastes heavenly. P.S. you could make it a little lighter by substituting some of the eggs for egg whites or cutting out some of the cheese. Ingredients:

  • 5 eggs
  • 2 tbsp ricotta cheese + 1 Laughing Cow creamy swiss wedge
  • 4 maple chicken sausage links diced thin (I used Trader Joe's brand)
  • 1/2-1 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup Mozzarella cheese
  • 1-2 tbsp goat cheese crumbles
  • Teaspoon each of kosher salt and pepper

Directions: 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, ricotta cheese and laughing cow cheese
  • Add in chopped spinach, sausage, green onion and seasonings
  • Preheat a small skillet on low-medium heat and spray with cooking spray
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Pour egg mixture in skillet and let cook until the edges are set
  • Sprinkle Mozzarella and goat cheese on top and place in oven
  • Bake until the top of the frittata is set and edges are golden brown (should be about 15 to 20 minutes)
  • Let cool and serve!

What's everyone up to this weekend?

  • 1/2 teaspoon dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon each of garlic and onion powder

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
  2. Pat the filets of fish dry with a paper towel
  3. Season both sides with salt and pepper
  4. On a plate, mix together the rest of the seasonings and bread crumbs
  5. Whisk the egg in a bowl
  6. Dip each of the fish filets in the egg and place onto bread crumb mixture and fully coat
  7. Place filets on a pan greased with cooking spray and into the oven
  8. Bake for five minutes, flip, and bake for another five minutes
  9. Turn oven to broil and broil for about one minute or until golden brown

I served mine with roasted vegetables, tomato slices and a dollop of tzaziki.

Enjoy!
