Sausage and Broccoli Breakfast Frittata (Crustless Quiche)
August 11th, 2010 by katie
I am always so impressed by the healthy, thoughtful meals Biz from Biggest Diabetic Loser prepares for herself to eat at work every day. One of her breakfast ideas, a sausage and broccoli “crustless quiche” is such a filling and satisfying way to start the day at the office. I used frozen broccoli florets (no need to thaw or you could use fresh) and I used left-over pizza sausage which brought this dish together in very little time.
Sausage and Broccoli Breakfast Frittata
serves 8, prep 10 min, cook 40 min- 1/2 lb breakfast sausage, cooked
- 2 cups broccoli florets, frozen
- 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

I love breakfast foods like this, but I love them best served for dinner. This looks delicious!

This frittata looks great! I’m always meaning to make more recipes like this since I eat eggs every morning for breakfast. Maybe I’ll try it out this weekend!

Yum, I agree, this looks amazing. I too would probably have it for dinner! And weirdly, I’d never thought about using a pie plate for a frittata instead of a frying pan. Good call.

I made this recipe several times and love it. It’s easy. I add just a touch more cheese and bake for 32 minutes in my oven which comes out perfect. My husband even said “There is broccoli in it and I liked it!”
