Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1/2 cup egg whites

1 cup cooked chicken sausage, crumbled (or your favorite sausage)

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (red or green)

1/4 cup onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or feta)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or basil)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Then, add the spinach and tomatoes. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2 more minutes.

      Cook the Sausage: Add the crumbled chicken sausage to the skillet and stir everything together for another 2 minutes. Season with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

        Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites until frothy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

          Combine and Pour: Add the sautéed mixture to the bowl with the eggs and gently fold in the shredded cheese. Mix until evenly combined.

            Bake the Frittata: Pour the frittata mixture into a greased 9-inch oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is golden.

              Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Slice into wedges and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
