Smoked Pork Sausage Frittata

Throwing an Italian dinner but not much time to prepare? Or maybe, you have time but you want another simple dish to the menu? I know I am. It’s my husband’s birthday next week and we’re having an Italian dinner for the family. I love to personally cook when dinners are done at our home. When I saw this recipe, I thought, it wouldn’t be tough another dish to our menu. My husband likes having egg in all 3 meals in a day and my son would eat anything that has cheese in it. This is just perfect and it just couldn’t get any simpler and easier than this!
