Keto Pizza Frittata
Pizza for breakfast? This is my kind of morning! ππ³
When Iβm craving pizza but want something a little different, turning those familiar flavors into a frittata is such a fun idea. It has that comforting, cheesy feel of pizza but works just as well for breakfast or a relaxed weekend brunch. π€
With savory sausage, juicy tomatoes, melted mozzarella, and Italian herbs, every slice is packed with pizza-inspired flavor. This keto pizza frittata is hearty, protein-rich, and makes a delicious low-carb meal you can prepare ahead and enjoy throughout the week.
Servings: 6 slices
Ingredients
- 12.4 oz frozen spinach, thawed (350 g)
- 8 large eggs (400 g)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (113 g)
- Β½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (45 g)
- 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning (about 1 g)
- Β½ tsp sea salt (3 g)
- ΒΌ tsp black pepper (about 0.5 g)
- 6 small Italian-style sausages (400 g)
- 1 tbsp ghee or olive oil (15 ml)
- β cup sugar-free marinara sauce (80 g)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (150 g)
- Fresh basil, for serving
Directions
- Prepare the spinach: Thaw the frozen spinach completely. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible so the frittata doesn't become watery. Set aside.
- Mix the eggs: Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add the oregano, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until combined. Stir in half of the mozzarella and half of the Parmesan.
- Cook the sausage: Heat the ghee or olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Cut the sausages into bite-sized pieces and cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
- Add the spinach and eggs: Stir the drained spinach into the sausage. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then pour the egg mixture evenly into the skillet. Cook for 8β10 minutes, until the edges begin to set and the top starts to firm up.
- Add the pizza toppings: Spoon the marinara sauce over the frittata. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes on top, followed by the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Finish under the broiler: Place the skillet under the oven broiler for 5β7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden and the eggs are fully set. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Rest and serve: Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool slightly. Scatter fresh basil over the top, slice into 6 portions, and serve.
