Freaky Frittata

My last meal was at 5 pm yesterday, and I didn't break that fast until after 11 am this morning. The bed felt too good so I slept later than normal (even for a weekend) and I'm resigned to always exercise on an empty stomach. I pushed it extra hard during this morning's 30-min cardio session, and by the time I got into the kitchen I was more or less starving.

I'd shredded some extra cabbage for wraps the other day and had a fair bit left over that hadn't made it into my meal preps. Same for some steamed green beans. I was craving something slightly spicy, too, in addition to feeling compelled to clear out some containers from the fridge.

That's when things got weird.

Starvin' Marvin Omelette

2 eggs, beaten

1 1/2 cup cabbage (shredded)

1/3 cup onion (julienne)

1/3 cup green bell pepper (julienne)

1 cayenne pepper (minced)

1 medium clove garlic (minced)

1 cup lightly steamed green beans (1/2 inch pieces)

1 turkey sausage patty (1.2 oz total, medium dice)

1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled)

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1 tsp sunflower seed oil

Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add cabbage, onions and bell pepper, and half the salt and pepper - saute for 3-4 minutes, until cabbage wilts slightly but is still very crisp.  Add green beans, sausage, garlic and cayenne - continue cooking for 1 more minute, then add eggs and rest of seasoning. Using a spatula, lift edges of cooked edges and swirl pan to allow runny portion of eggs to make contact with the bottom and edges and cook through.  Once bottom and edges are set, sprinkle on feta, turn heat down to medium low and cover with a lid or a plate - this should allow the top to cook and slightly melt the cheese.  After another 2 minutes remove from heat, plate and serve.
