directions
- Cook turkey bacon per directions on package until crisp. Set aside. Crumble when cool.

- Preheat the broiler.
- In a blender, combine the egg substitute, cottage cheese, and milk and process until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and return to the heat source. Sprinkle the crumbled turkey bacon over the top. Cover and cook on medium-low heat until the bottom is set and the top is still slightly wet.
- Transfer the skillet to the broiler and broil until the top is set - 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the cheese and broil until the cheese melts.
- Serve while hot.

I make several different breakfast frittata's and this one is different (in a good way) & tasty. I increased the bacon abit & used olive oil for the margarine. Threw in some green onions, jalapeno & a couple sliced fresh mushrooms. I cut back the tomatoes and glad I did because I think it would have overpowered the flavours for us otherwise. Nice change to our normal breakfast recipes, thanks for sharing.
