Egg Frittata

This is yummy, super easy, and you can put whatever you want in it.  I usually make double the meat and veggies one time, then freeze half so the next time it's even quicker and easier. This recipe and some whole wheat toast is enough to feed my family of 4. We eat this almost as often for dinner as we do for breakfast.

This is not the way I make it every time, what I put in it depends on what I have in the fridge at that time, I'll make the recipe follow how I usually do it(the one in the pic has yellow and red peppers, and ground chicken).

1 green pepper

1 red/yellow or orange pepper

1 large onion

1 clove garlic

6 links breakfast sausage

8 to 10 large eggs

1 cup grated cheese

salt

pepper

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Dice peppers and onions, cook until soft. When they are almost done add garlic to soften just a bit, turn off heat.

In a bowl beat eggs with a splash of milk or cream. Add meat/pepper/onion mixture, about 1/2 of the grated cheese, salt and pepper to taste. Whisk it all together, pour into a baking dish sprayed with cooking spray(I use an 8x8 glass dish, I have also used my large cast iron pan), and top with remaining cheese. Put in oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes.

I find sometimes it doesn't seem to cook fully in the center, so I just pop it under the broiler for a few minutes and it seems to finish it off and browns the cheese nicely too.
