INGREDIENTS (makes 12)
6 lean turkey breakfast sausage links
½ C. chopped fresh spinach
½ C. shredded Colby-Jack cheese
4 eggs
10 egg whites
½ C. skim milk
Black pepper to taste
Chopped fresh basil
Halved grape tomatoes
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat 12 standard muffin cups with cooking spray or use foil-lined paper liners and spray well.
In a skillet, brown the sausage links until fully cooked; chop coarsely. Divide the sausage, spinach, and cheese evenly among the muffin cups. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and milk; season with pepper and pour into cups, filling almost full. Add basil and grape tomatoes. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until the center is firm.
Cool for 5 minutes, then loosen from the pan and remove the frittatas.
Serve warm or wrap each baked, cooled frittata separately and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave.
