Sausage and Goat Cheese Frittata

 Ingredients:

• 12 large eggs

• 4 oz. goat cheese, divided
• 2 Italian sausage links, casing removed
• 1-pint fresh portabella mushrooms, sliced
• 4 cups baby spinach
• salt
• freshly ground black pepper

Makes 9 Servings 

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream and salt and pepper. Once combined and fluffy, add 3 ounces of the goat cheese and fold together. Set aside.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sausage links with the casing removed. Use a spatula to break up the sausage as it is cooking. Once the sausage is no longer pink, move it from the pan onto a paper towel-covered plate to absorb any excess fat and allow to cool.
4. Using the same skillet, add the mushrooms and cook until soft. Remove from the pan and set aside. Repeat with the spinach. Cook until wilted and set aside to cool.
5. After the vegetables and sausage have cooled for a few minutes, gently stir them into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 ounce of goat cheese on top.
6. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes until the eggs are puffed and appear cooked. The center of the frittata should slightly wiggle if you gently shake the pan. Remove the frittata from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.
7. Garnish with herbs, slice with a knife and serve.
