Brunch at Home: Egg White Frittata

With copious amounts of restaurant options peering around every corner, sometimes the options can get too overwhelming. This usually leads to the typical Saturday morning argument of "where do you want to get brunch?". Instead of dancing around the topic until noon, this weekend I decided to cook brunch.

This simple recipe is a great "go-to" for any group gathering and can be made with whatever produce you have on hand. I served this, of course, with my Cold Brew Coffee and some fresh nectarines.


Ingredients:
2 raw chicken sausage links, casing removed
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 large shallots, sliced
1 medium green pepper, diced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
6 egg whites (or 1 cup liquid egg whites)
1/2 cup low fat cheddar cheese, shredded



Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375F. In a large pan, add chicken sausage and cook through, about 7 min, making sure to break up the sausage into small crumbles. Set aside.
2. In same pan heat olive oil to medium high heat. Add shallots and green pepper and sauté with salt and pepper until shallots become translucent and pepper soften, about 5 min. Add sausage back and sauté another 2 min.
3. Grease a 9 inch pie pan or round dish. Add shallots, pepper and sausage to baking dish, making sure to distribute evenly. Pour egg whites into dish. Sprinkle cheese evenly over top.
4. Bake until egg whites are set and cheese begins to brown, 25 min.
5. Carefully move baking dish to top oven rack and broil until cheese is golden brown, 2 min.
