Ingredients

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large bowl, mix the egg whites and whole eggs with a wire whisk until foamy. In a large nonstick pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, chicken sausage, sweet potatoes, peppers, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Saute the mixture for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the onion begins to brown. Transfer the sausage mixture from the pan and put in a large bowl.

Wipe down the pan and spray the nonstick pan with cooking spray and add the eggs, cook over medium heat until the edges begin to harden. Pour the sausage mixture into the eggs. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese.

Place the frittata into the oven and let cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the frittata is firm in the middle. Remove the frittata from the oven and flip onto a large plate. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with the Side Salad.

Side Salad:

  • 2 heads green leaf lettuce
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
  • 2 whole tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 Hass avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely minced in a wooden mortar and pestle)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

In a large bowl, loosen the leaves of the lettuce, sprinkle with the sliced onions and top with the tomato and avocado slices. In a mortar and pestle, add the garlic, salt, and pepper, to taste, and finely mince. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, and vinegar and stir with a small spoon. Dress the salad with the lemon vinaigrette before serving.

    I tried this recipe and it lacked flavor and had way to many egg whites. Not sure why the use of so many egg whites when there is a substantial amount of cheese and sausage. Not sure where the healthy part is but. I tried it and it was ok not sure what I did wrong. I followed the recipe exactly.

    This was such a yummy recipe!!! I only made a few adjustments. I added potatoes instead of sweet potato and used Al Fresco Roasted Garlic chicken sausage. My family loved it, especially my kids!!!

    Love making Frittata's and Herb convinced me to use more egg whites than yolks. FOOD NETWORK PLEASE GIVE HERB A SHOW! I agree with other commenters, America needs a healthy latin cook and Herb is the man to do it. HERB - HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON ON THE FOOD NETWORK!
