Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.


Using an oven proof large skillet over medium high heat, break up sausage and cook until no longer pink. Add in diced bell peppers and onion to this step. Cook until softened. Drain excess grease, if needed. Turn off heat.


Add in fresh spinach to the cooked sausage and stir until just wilted.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.


Pour egg mixture into skillet with the cooked sausage in it. Add in 1/2 of the cheddar cheese and the can of drained diced tomatoes. Mix well to combine.


Arrange the frozen tater tots on top of frittata mixture in skillet until fully covered tightly. Top with remainder 4 oz shredded cheese.


Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until tots are crispy and the egg mixture is set. Use a toothpick to test for doneness in the center.


Garnish with parsley and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes to finish setting up. Cut into pie shapes. Enjoy.


NOTE: if you do not have an oven proof skillet, you can use a 9 x 13 baking dish.
