Frittata!

Frittata is a really easy way to make eggs and is similar to an open-faced omelet. It's great when you want things like meat or veggies with your eggs, where a traditional omelet has trouble holding these things and still cooking properly.
In my frittata I put asparagus, onions and some left over sausage from earlier in the week.



Veggie and Meat Frittata
Makes 4 servings

2 tablespoons of butter
1/4 cup of asparagus, chopped
1/2 cup of onions, chopped (I really like onions)
Half a link of left over pre-cooked sausage, diced
3 eggs
1/4 cup of milk
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. garlic powder
Fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Optional toppings:
Shredded cheese
Salsa
Tabasco
Rooster sauce


Pre-heat oven to 350

In an oven safe non-stick skillet, add butter and turn on stove top to a medium heat.
Let butter melt and stop bubbling. Add asparagus and onions. Cook till onions are translucent. Add sausage.
While these cook...
Beat eggs in a small bowl with milk, paprika, pepper, and garlic.
Pour eggs over meat and veggies.
Cook these together for a few minuets, till the eggs start to sit up. Stir with a spatula, also shaking the pan. Make sure to sweep around the edge of the eggs so it forms a nice uniform circle.
Put the pan into the oven for 7-10 minutes, till the eggs are cooked to your liking.
Cut into wedges and serve!

Other veggies or meat to try: Cooked bacon, drained spinach, mushrooms, green onions, cooked chicken, fresh garlic ( I didn't have any that's why I used the powder)

Side Note: I didn't add salt to the egg mixture because it can make the eggs go a little rubbery, add to taste after cooking is done.
