\u00a0I can turn my Mom&#8217;s quiche recipe into this <strong>Sausage Mushroom Frittata<\/strong>, which is just as tasty, saves calories when you don&#8217;t include a crust, and cooks up quicker to boot!<\/p>\n<p>You can use any kind of cheese you like. \u00a0I think my Mom used Swiss, but my girls don&#8217;t like it, so I used Monterey Jack. \u00a0You can also mix some cheese into the egg mixture for a richer\u00a0taste, but I wanted mine to be a lower-calorie meal. \u00a0I used bulk breakfast sausage (the kind you get in a tube, by the bacon), but you can use any kind of sausage. \u00a0Serve a slice of this frittata hot, with maybe a side salad and a piece of nice bread. \u00a0You can also have this for breakfast, of course, with some fruit or toast. \u00a0Get crazy &#8211; get cooking!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Sausage Mushroom Frittata<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>8 ounces bulk sausage<\/li>\n<li>8 ounces button or cremini mushrooms, sliced<\/li>\n<li>6 eggs<\/li>\n<li>1\/3 cup whole milk (or use half and half for a richer taste)<\/li>\n<li>salt and pepper<\/li>\n<li>2 or more slices of Swiss or Jack Cheese<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Directions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In an oven-proof skillet, cook the sausage, crumbling it with your spoon as it cooks. \u00a0After 3 minutes, add the mushrooms. \u00a0Season them with a little salt &#8211; this helps draw the water out of the mushrooms. \u00a0Cover and simmer on medium for five minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Lift the lid and let all the water in the pan cook off. \u00a0If the pan looks dry, you can add a tiny bit of olive oil or butter and mix that in. \u00a0If it looks like the sausage left enough fat to lubricate the pan, go to Step 3.<\/li>\n<li>In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk. \u00a0Season with salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<li>Turn on the broiler in your oven.<\/li>\n<li>Pour the eggs over the sausage mixture and stir a few times. \u00a0When the edges look set, put the cheese on top of the eggs and place the pan in the oven. \u00a0 Make sure it&#8217;s not too close to the broiler!<\/li>\n<li>Broil for about 3-5 minutes. \u00a0Keep an eye on this!
