This recipe guides you through preparing a wholesome veggie sausage-cheddar frittata, perfect for a balanced breakfast or light main course. It combines savory veggie sausage, sautéed mushrooms, and bell peppers with a cheesy egg substitute base, baked until golden and fluffy. Quick to assemble and satisfying, it offers a healthier take on a classic frittata.
To elevate the flavor of this frittata, ensure proper caramelization of the mushrooms and bell peppers by not overcrowding the pan. The veggie sausage should also get a nice sear for texture. Given the use of egg substitute and reduced-fat ingredients, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture for a subtle kick and depth. Be cautious not to overbake, as egg substitute can become rubbery quickly; the frittata is done when the center is just set. A rest period post-baking helps it firm up and prevents crumbling when sliced. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
