Ingredients

Cooking spray

1 link Italian chicken sausage (casings removed)

8 large eggs

1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese (I love Good Culture)

1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese

1 cup chopped baby spinach

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Move oven rack to the second highest from the top.

Lightly spray a 10-inch oven safe skillet with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, cottage cheese, Pecorino, spinach, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Add sausage to a skillet, breaking it up in small pieces with a wooden spoon over medium heat and cook, until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes.

Add the egg mixture to skillet and cook 1 minute to let the bottom set.

Bake in the oven until the top is set, about 16 to 18 minutes.

With a spatula, carefully slide frittata out of the skillet onto a cutting board and cut into 4 wedges.

Serve with salad and whole grain bread, if desired.
