Frittata - Sausage & Hashbrowns

By Kwasome

Ingredients

• 1/4 pound turkey Italian sausage links, casings removed
• 1 1/2 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3 eggs
• 2 egg whites
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon canola oil
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 cup 1% buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 3/4 cup salsa

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a nonstick skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels. Discard drippings. In the same pan, saute potatoes, onion and garlic in oil until potatoes are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add water, seasonings and sausage; cook and stir over medium heat until the water has evaporated, about 1 minute.
2. In a bowl, combine the eggs, egg whites, buttermilk, flour and Parmesan cheese. Stir in sausage mixture. Fill muffin cups coated with nonstick cooking spray three-fourths full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. Carefully run a knife around the edge of cups to loosen frittatas. Serve with salsa.
