Cheesy Potato Frittata



The luxury of a slow morning with my family, lounging in our PJs and waiting for a brunch and this weekend is Frittata. Easy simple and healthy.  I tried this  recipe from "Pass the Shushi" 
My version follows:
·         1/4 – 1/2 lb turkey sausage/ Optional
  • 1 tbs butter
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1 cup diced red potatoes or whatever kind of have at home
  • ½- 1  cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
  • 2cups  Baby spinach
  • 1 teas dried thyme, or Italian spices
  • 6 eggs ( remove 3 egg yolks  OR equivalent portion of egg beaters
  • 2 tbs milk
  • 1/2 teas salt
  • 1/4 teas pepper
  • 4 ounces cubed Colby jack cheese.
  • 2 scallions, diced
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375.
In an oven proof skillet over medium heat, brown sausage and crumble, set aside. On a medium-high flames, add olive oil and butter to pan. When hot, sauté onions saute. Add diced potatoes onions, mushroom, and thyme / spices and sauté until potatoes are done. Add spinach sauté for 2 minutes and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper . (I have to add cayenne pepper) in a large mixing bowl. Add cheese and scallions when and stir to combine.
Arrange potatoes, mushrooms, and onion, spinach mixture in your skillet and pour the egg mixture over everything.
Put the frittata in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
