If you love breakfast, you’re going to love this spinach, sausage and egg frittata. So much so, you may even want to have it for lunch or dinner.
Frittatas are a wonderful way to get protein, and with handy sausage and spinach, they are full of flavor and texture.
Now, I’m using spinach but you can also use any leftover vegetables, like red or green peppers, broccoli, peas, leeks, etc. The key is to let the juices from the meat combine with the veggies and infuse into everything, before adding in the eggs.
Cooking tips
- You can use any type of sausages in this recipe including beef, pork, lamb, chicken or turkey sausages. I like thicker sausages that are more flavorful such as Italian sausages, pork bratwurst, saucisse de toulouse, chipotle sausages, etc.
- You can use frozen pre-chopped onions if you wish, but you will need to cook them for 5-7 minutes more till they are lightly browned.
