Paleo Merguez Frittata Recipe
In my culture we don’t mind eggs for lunch and dinner. One of my friends told me that americans eat eggs only for breakfast and I was surprised. I have never heard such thing before. Well, the good thing about this recipe is you can make it for any meal you like. In my family we mainly eat it for lunch or dinner. We call this recipe Checkchouka. My mom use to make it a lot during summer as we usually have tones of tomatoes and peppers from our garden. Adding some fresh merguez ( beef sausage) was a great idea as it gives the recipe more nutritional value.

Where can I find Merguez sausage? Or what can be substituted
Hi Jenny,
Your local butcher can make you some if you ask. You can also substitute with some homemade meatballs or chicken breast. There is no right or wrong way in eating real food 🙂
