Ingredients

Scale

8 eggs Large Eggs
1 cup Low-fat Cottage Cheese
2 cups Baby Spinach
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
0.25 cup Red Onio
1 cup Cooked Turkey Sausage
0.5 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 to taste Salt and Pepper
1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C)
  2. Place a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil
  3. Add the diced red onion and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until they soften and become fragrant
  4. Stir in the chopped baby spinach and cooked turkey sausage, cooking for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts
  5. While the vegetables cook, crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk vigorously until well combined
  6. Add the cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to the egg mixture and stir gently to incorporate
  7. Pour the egg mixture directly into the skillet over the sautéed vegetables and use a spatula to distribute ingredients evenly
  8. Let the mixture sit on the stovetop for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the edges to set
  9. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top if using
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the center is set and the top is golden brow
  11. Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing

Notes

Do not overcook the eggs; remove from the oven when the center still has a very slight jiggle as they will continue to cook while resting.

Use a non-stick oven-safe skillet to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.

Drain any excess moisture from vegetables, especially if using frozen spinach, to avoid a soggy frittata.

Season every layer by salting the vegetables during sautéing and the egg mixture separately.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days or freeze individual slices for up to two months.
