Ingredients

Cooking spray
1 Italian chicken sausage link (casings removed)
8 large eggs
½ cup 1% cottage cheese
½ cup grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese
1 cup chopped baby spinach
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat & Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Adjust the oven rack to the second highest position. Lightly coat a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with cooking spray. Mix the Eggs:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, Pecorino, spinach, salt, and black pepper. Set aside. Cook the Sausage:
Heat the skillet over medium heat and add the sausage. Break it into small pieces using a wooden spoon and cook until browned and fully cooked (about 4 minutes). Assemble the Frittata:
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring slightly to distribute the ingredients evenly. Let it cook for 1 minute to allow the bottom to set. Bake to Perfection:
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the top is set, about 16–18 minutes. Serve & Enjoy:
Carefully slide the frittata onto a cutting board and slice it into 4 wedges. Serve warm with a fresh salad or whole-grain bread, if desired.
