Sausage frittata for meal-prep

Sausage Frittata

Is this technically a "frittata"? Beats me. It's been a great go-to breakfast for the work week. I like to go heavy on the eggs.

Ingredients

• 18 eggs
• 1 lb turkey sausage (you can use pork sausage too, but turkey is lower calorie and hard to tell the difference in the finished product)
• 1 green or red bell pepper
• 1 onion
• 1 small can sliced mushrooms
• 4 oz sharp cheddar
• A healthy dash each of garlic powder, onion powder, and MSG
• A small dash of cayenne pepper
• Cooking spray or other fat of choice

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 350F. If you have a fan/convection feature, use that. Grease a 9"x13" (or similar capacity) oven-safe casserole dish.
2. Chop up your pepper and onion. Doesn't have to be super-finely diced, but smallish chunks. Also drain the can of mushrooms. Set all of these aside.
3. Grease a large skillet and use it to brown your sausage at high heat until it's cooked through and most/all of the water has cooked off.
4. Add the onion, pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet and continue to cook until the onion bits are barely translucent.
5. Remove your skillet from heat and dump the contents into the greased casserole dish.
6. Turn your attention to the eggs. Crack them all into a medium mixing bowl and add your seasonings and a splash of water. Whisk these until well-combined (I use an immersion blender).
7. Top the fillings in the casserole dish with your cheese, then pour the beaten eggs right over top - the eggs will just sort of disperse evenly and fill up your dish.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, let cool, and serve/save covered in the fridge.

Nutrition

I like to cut into eight slices.
