Jan's Sausage & Vegetable Frittata

   This recipe comes from a friend who worked for years as a home ec teacher.  We stayed at her home during a recent conference, and she made this recipe for  breakfast. This frittata has lots of vegetables and that's also why I liked it so much!

    Last week I made this recipe and used the kind of peppers I had on hand, and I also wanted to add some onion and mushrooms. Frittatas are a great way to clean out the crisper in your refrigerator!  I served this recipe last week with tremendous pumpkin muffins (which are on the  list of breakfast recipes below).

Jan's Sausage & Vegetable Frittata -  for 6

1.  Prepare vegetables:
(1)  Dice 1 orange/yellow/green bell pepper.
(2)  Dice 1/2 of an onion. (I added this)
(3)  Chop 1/2 cup of spinach.
(4)  Chop 1 yellow squash.
(5)  Optional:  Add some sliced mushrooms

2.  Saute vegetables & turkey sausage:  Put 2 T of coconut oil into a skillet and cook the sliced sausages  for a few minutes and then add the vegetables  and cook until they're tender about 5 minutes.

3.  Meanwhile mix the eggs and spices together -  In a medium size bowl:
(1)  Whisk 8  eggs
(2)  Add 1/3 cup of water
(3)  Spices:  1/4 t onion powder, 1/8 t basil, 1/2 t salt, 1/2 t pepper
(4)  Stir in 1 cup of cheddar or a cheddar and colby jack mix.

4.  Bake frittata at 350 for 20 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
