Sausage, Spinach and Cheese Frittata

I’ve been trying to add more vegetables to my diet.  One way of doing that is adding it to the main dish.  My husband is a meat and potatoes kind of guy, so coming up with creative ideas that he likes too can be challenging!  Here is one of the things I came up with and even he liked it – a lot!

Spinach, SausageandCheese Frittata

  • ½ pound bulk breakfast sausage
  • 1 clove of garlic, crushed

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

Break up the sausage in the pan.  Mix in the sage and garlic and brown,

    This looks amazing. I have to be gluten free, and I’m a lazy cook, so when I find something that looks this good, is gluten free, and doesn’t look hard or time consuming, I’m a happy girl. Thanks!
