I'm all about quick and easy brunch dishes! Sometimes I'm in the mood to cook up something really fancy, depending on the occasion and how much time I have. However, most times I'm looking for something that's both delicious and easy to prepare.
That's why frittatas are one of my tried and true go-to's! I also love the fact that they are low in carbs as they are essentially a quiche without the crust. Of course a frittata is a healthier version of your traditional quiche because they don't include nearly as much fat from lots of heavy cream.
Fritattas are a win for me all the way around! You can also incorporate whatever flavors you're in the mood for with your favorite veggies, proteins and cheeses. It's hard to mess up a frittata too bad so this is definitely a beginner friendly recipe.
For the sausage I use Beyond Meats's plant-based Brat Sausage, but feel free to substitute any sausage you choose.
