Mushroom & Italian Sausage Frittata

20160924_142440

I love breakfast and brunch foods. I think it’s because I really like mornings. And a proper hot breakfast that includes eggs is the way I prefer to start my day.

Fritattas are a go-to favorite. It’s like a baked omelette or a crustless quiche and very portable so if I make it ahead, I have a delightful breakfast option that I can simply heat and eat in the morning. This is very practical on weekdays when I have to get the little ones dropped off before work, there’s not always time to cook a fresh breakfast or sit down to eat at home. It’s a good breakfast staple to have in your repertoire.

This one has an Italian flare because I used Italian sausage, Italian cheeses, peppers and mushrooms. But you could use any fillings you’d like.
