Sausage and Pepper Frittata

Submitted by Patty Mae

"This frittata is a delicious low-carb breakfast or brunch. I prefer my fritattas cooked on top of the stove in a covered pan. If you prefer yours browned on top and a little fluffier, use an oven-proof skillet and bake in a preheated 400°F oven for the last few minutes of cooking."

Very nice recipe. I increased the sausage abit & cut the cheese. Substituted yogurt for the cream & brick cheese for the muenster. I liked that you cover & leave it to cook on low while you prepare other stuff & get ready to eat. It turned out very moist & fluffy, thanks for sharing.
