Equipment
- 1 Baking dish (preferably one that can go on the burner too)
- 1 Medium or large skillet
- 1 Medium-sized mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Cottage cheese (4% or 4.5% is my favorite)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 8 large Eggs
- 1 link Italian chicken sausage (casings removed if possible)
- 1 cup Baby spinach (chopped)
- 3/4 tsp Sea salt
- Ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175˚C) and move oven rack to high position (I use second from top).
- Lightly spray a 10-inch oven-safe pan with olive oil spray
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, spinach, salt and pepper. Set aside and place your skillet or cooktop-safe dish on a medium heat.
- Add sausage to a skillet, breaking it up in small pieces with a wooden spoon over medium heat and cook until browned and cooked through - about 4 or 5 minutes.
- Add your egg and cheese mixture to the pan and cook 1 minute to let the bottom set.
- Move the cooked mixture into your baking dish (this can be a bit tricky and is why a cooktop-safe dish is great) and bake in the oven until the top is set, about 15 to 20 minutes depending on your oven.
- Once out of the oven, slice the frittata into pieces and slide them out with a spatula, or just serve direct from the dish.
- Enjoy on its own, or serve with a side of garden or Greek salad if desired!
