Weekend Recap and Broccoli Spinach Frittata

My hubby and I had a great weekend! Saturday we were able to sleep in (well...I only sleep in until about 7:30am). I got up early started the coffee and went straight to work on the blog. I'm so excited with how it's coming along, but there is still so much to do. After a nice breakfast we headed to the gym for some weight lifting. We spent the rest of the afternoon walking around this great outdoor shopping center then went to a nice dinner.

Sunday's are always our busiest days. We woke up early grabbed a quick snack/breakfast and some coffee and headed to church. When we got home from church we made brunch, it's become a Sunday tradition for us. After brunch we clean house, do laundry, and do all of our weekly grocery shopping. A busy afternoon calls for a quick, easy, but healthy brunch that will give us plenty of energy to finish our chores.

Here is what we made yesterday, a delicious Broccoli Spinach Frittata, or in the hubby's words "Sunday Brunch Frittata." It was packed with protein and vegetables. It's also paleo and gluten-free (if you don't use the cheese). Hope you all enjoy!


Broccoli Spinach Frittata or "Sunday Brunch Frittata"

1lb. spicy breakfast sausage
1 head of broccoli (cut off the stalk and dice the florets)
1/2 of a sweet onion diced
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 cup chopped spinach
1/4 cup diced green onions
12 eggs
salt
pepper

Turn oven on broil. Brown the sausage in a skillet on medium-high heat. Once browned, remove the sausage from the skillet. Leave skillet on medium-high and put in the broccoli, onion and garlic. Cook till soft. Then add spinach and green onions. Briefly cook the spinach and onions (1 to 2 minutes).

Then add the browned sausage back in and pat down to evenly cover the bottom of the skillet. Whisk the 12 eggs together and pour over the top of the meat and veggies. Sprinkle the top with salt and pepper. Do not stir. Let the skillet sit on medium-high heat for 7 minutes. The frittata will begin to slightly peel back from the edge of the skillet but the top will still appear runny.

After seven minutes remove the frittata from the stove and transfer to the oven. Let frittata broil for 7 minutes.

Optional: remove the frittata from the oven at 5 minutes and sprinkle feta cheese (or other cheese of choice) on top. Place back in the oven for remaining 2 minutes.

Hope ya'll enjoy!
