We are always wasting eggs because we make the mistake of buying a dozen when we need two, so we started buying the liquid eggs in cartons. This time around we went with the Kirkland Egg Starts found at Costco. They work really well for baking cookies as well as Sunday breakfast scrambles, and the idea would be that we would waste far less. Well, the expiration date came around and Brandon noticed we had two full cartons left. This inspired him to whip up a frittata for dinner. Had he ever made one before? Hell, no! Would that stop him? Hell, no! He enlisted me to look for a basic frittata recipe, so I found this one that uses a Dutch oven, which I knew B would like.
This was incredible. It was one of the tastiest egg dishes I have ever had. The sausage is so savory, I cannot recommend Cantella's enough. One sausage is 140 calories, which is unbelievably low. I think Brandon picked the perfect combination of veggies that really complemented each other. If he had added any more it might have been too much.
