- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Cooking
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the frittata evenly.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and low-fat milk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Add Ingredients: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled feta, cooked turkey sausage, chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, diced onion, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until everything is well combined.
- Prepare Skillet: Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, ensuring the oil coats the surface evenly.
- Cook Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Cook on the stovetop for 3 to 4 minutes until the edges begin to set.
- Bake Frittata: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the frittata from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving to allow flavors to set.
Notes
- Substitute turkey sausage with cooked chicken breast or plant-based sausage for variations.
- Add mushrooms or tomatoes to increase vegetable content and flavor complexity.
