About this recipe:
A keto-friendly, gluten-free breakfast or brunch classic.
Ingredients:
- 3 zucchini, ends trimmed
- 1 yellow onion, peeled
- 1/2 cup sliced white mushrooms
- 1 lb pork or turkey sausage, casings removed
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper
How to customize:
If you don't have mushrooms or zucchini on hand or you want different flavors, you can swap them out for other veggies. Asparagus, leeks, or even broccoli can work well in a frittata. You can also skip the sausage to make the meal vegetarian-friendly.
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Using a food processor or box grater, shred zucchini, onion, and mushrooms. Transfer shredded vegetables to a strainer and press down to squeeze out excess liquid. Set aside.
- Place sausage in a medium oven-safe skillet and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. As it cooks, break sausage apart with a wooden spoon or spatula until it is fully crumbled and beginning to brown.
- Add shredded vegetables to the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir until evenly combined. Sprinkle almond flour and thyme evenly over the mixture and let cook for 2–3 minutes.
- While sausage mixture cooks, crack eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk in garlic powder, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste until combined.
- Carefully drain any liquid from the skillet. Pour egg mixture over sausage mixture. Let cook for 2–3 minutes, tilting the skillet to evenly distribute egg mixture.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, until the center is firm and the top begins to brown.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
- Leftovers can be sliced and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
