Sausage & Pepper Frittata

Today, I am thankful for Bueller! My beagle puppy! Okay, so he's not a puppy anymore, he's 5. He's my spunky, wild, playful, adorable, talented, & sweet little best friend. The dog can show off with tricks, hoover his dinner in 30 seconds flat, and he follows me around the house from room to room like my shadow. I mean, come on. Love him. And being that most of my days are spent at home with this little guy...I think he's come to put up with me as much as I put up with him!

Over the weekend my husband and I got to enjoy a lazy Saturday. A full day (well almost) of just the two of us. What better way to start that day, than a brunch to please the masses. Frittata! This one had some diced up breakfast sausage and bell peppers. Its decently healthy, affordable, and more than edible. Check, check, check, aaand eaten. It makes about 5 servings and is great the next day or two when you want a hot breakfast without the effort.

 INGREDIENTS:
6 breakfast sausages
olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teas crushed red pepper flakes
2 bell peppers, diced
1 small tomato, diced
1 teas dried basil
6 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded mozzarella

*Cook the breakfast sausage until well browned, remove from pan.
*Preheat oven to 425.
*Heat the olive oil in the same pan, adding the garlic and red pepper flakes, cook for about a minute. Toss in bell peppers and tomato. While this cooks for a couple minutes, dice up your cooked sausage and then throw that in with everything else. Top with the basil and get everything working together for a few minutes.
*Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat the 6 eggs with the milk. Once the veggies are ready, pour into the pan. Add cheese, reserving just a bit. Make sure everything is well distributed in the pan. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
*Place in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until browned on top. Wait for 5-10 minutes to serve.
