milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

Almond milk is lower in calories; water can be used for a lighter frittata.

Brown 1 pound of mild country sausage in a skillet.

Add diced yellow onion and cook for about 1 minute.

Add diced green bell pepper and sauté with the sausage and onion for about 2 minutes until the vegetables begin to sweat.

Remove the sausage and vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add 1/4 cup of olive oil and the diced russet potatoes.

Spread the potatoes into an even layer and let them sit for 5 minutes without stirring.

After 5 minutes, flip the potatoes and let them sit for another 5 minutes, repeating this process until the potatoes are cooked through.

Season the potatoes with salt, chili powder, granulated garlic, and black pepper, then mix and continue cooking until tender.

Return the sausage, peppers, and onions to the skillet and mix everything together, allowing the moisture to deglaze the skillet.

Turn off the heat and pour in 12 well-beaten eggs, mixing thoroughly to distribute the eggs evenly.

Top the mixture with freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese.

Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 325°F for 30 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through and the top is golden brown.
