Southern-Style Frittata with Andouille

For this adult-style breakfast-for-dinner dish, I basically took the standard concept of jambalaya & made it into a frittata. With the amount of flavor & protein this meal has, it's hard to believe it is less than 250 calories per serving! 

INGREDIENTS:
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
- 2tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 links of Andouille Chicken Sausage (I used Bilinski's brand from EarthFare), chopped into bite-size pieces
- 16oz Egg Beaters
- 1/4c reduced fat shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 4tbsp of your favorite salsa

HOW-TO:
Preheat the oven to 350*.

In a medium oven-safe skillet that has deep edges, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion & peppers and saute until the start to become tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the sausage and cook for another 5 minutes. Pour in the egg beaters and stir in the cheese.



Put the skillet in the oven in & bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata begins to turn golden brown. Cut into 4 even pieces & serve each piece with 1tbsp of salsa.
