INGREDIENTS NOTES:
EGGS:
- We have to use the big eggs for optimal consistency. Eggs serve as the base of these frittatas and add protein and structure.
HEAVY CREAM:
- Heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk provides fluff and wetness. Almond milk keeps it light and dairy-free, whereas heavy cream will produce a fuller texture.
TURKEY SAUSAGE:
- We have to choose the precooked turkey sausage that is free of sugar and nitrates for a keto-friendly choice. We can chop these sausages into small pieces or we can also crumble these sausages.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- Cheddar cheese adds the richness & savory flavor are added with cheddar cheese. We can also use the other keto-friendly cheeses, such as Swiss, mozzarella, or pepper jack, as a substitute for the cheddar cheese.
BELL PEPPER:
- Bell peppers are low in carbohydrates; they offer a burst of color, crunch, and micronutrients. We can choose to add any of the red, yellow, or green depending on the preference.
KALE OR SPINACH:
- Kale or spinach provides minerals and fiber. We can chop coarsely and briefly sauté or steam if using fresh.
SEASONING:
- Add the seasonings, onion seasoning, paprika, garlic seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste to enhance the flavor. If we are using the store-bought seasoning, then we have to check that it is free from all the hidden non-keto components like sugars.
