Low Carb Keto Frittata

This Low Carb Keto Frittata is super easy to make and so delicious! In my house we love preparing this at the start of the week and eating it for breakfast all week long. The peppers and onions combined with the fresh dill is so yummy and the breakfast sausage on top is the icing on the cake. This recipe only takes 10 minutes to prepare which means it is a great option for those mornings where you do not have much time to make breakfast. 

This recipe is a healthy and protein packed way to start your day so that you have the fuel to knock out your to do list.

Ingredients 

• Eggs-I prefer pasture raised eggs. This means the eggs are raised on a farm and they are able to freely roam rather than be all cooped up in a chicken coup. How the chickens are raised directly impacts the quality of the eggs they produce. Pasture raised eggs are more nutrient dense. 
• Peppers & onions-For flavor. If you are feeling really over zealous here, you can even saute the onions and peppers prior to cooking them in the frittata. 
• Breakfast sausage–I love the breakfast sausage from Butcher Box. They have the best quality stuff and it tastes the best too! If you order from my Butcher Box link, you will get free beef with every order!
• Dill-For flavor.
• Cooking oil spray-This will prevent the frittata from sticking to the pan. I like using the avocado oil spray from Costco.

• Feta-If you eat cheese, this recipe tastes great with added feta!

Expert Tips

• Tip #1: Be sure to whisk the eggs well throughout so the yolks are broken apart.
• Tip #2: If you have the time and want extra flavor, saute the onions and peppers prior to placing them in the frittata.
• Tip #3: like to broil my frittatas a little at the end to get them nice and crispy on top. This is not a must but could be a fun touch to add.
