INGREDIENTS

    • 4 to 5 medium baby red potatoes, peeled and chopped
    • 1 small onion, chopped
    • 1/2 pound Italian sausage, browned
    • 1 cup spinach leaves, chopped
    • 1/4 cup water
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
    • 6 slices monterey jack cheese
    • 6 english muffins, toasted

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Preheat your oven to 375˚F.

    2. Simmer the potatoes in salted water until fork tender.

    3. While the potatoes are boiling, brown the sausage and onions together in a medium sauté pan. Drain the potatoes and add them to the sausage mixture, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.

    4. Add the sausage mixture to a 9-inch casserole dish, and sprinkle over the spinach.

    5. Whip the eggs, salt, and pepper together and then pour over the sausage. Bake for 40 minutes.

    6. Remove from the oven, and cut the frittata into 6 squares.

    7. Toast the english muffins and then top with a square of the frittata and a slice of cheese. Finish with the top of the english muffin, and breakfast is served.

    8. To freeze, once the sandwiches are at room temperature, wrap in aluminum foil and pop in the freezer. Remove foil and heat in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes, or place in a 400˚F oven for 10 minutes until warmed through.
