Yay for breakfast! And for breakfasts that look like Pac-Man?
This is a really easy one that you can whip up while you’re meal prepping or you can stick it right on the table for brunch. There’s enough turkey sausage in there that you get some in every bite (my favorite part of the frittata). The basil in there adds some great flavor and it’s a nice change of pace for breakfast flavors. And if you’re meal prepping it, all you have to do is throw a slice in the microwave to heat it up, eat and run!
Look at that beautiful steam! Makes me want to eat more…the tomatoes on top might have been overkill, but they look pretty if nothing else. If you’ve gotta have cheese on your frittata, my bet is that some buffalo mozzarella would be amazing on here. Just mix it in or put some slices on top before you put it in the oven.
I cooked mine just a little bit longer than what you see here before putting it in the oven to bake. Just the very top was still runny at that point.
