Sausage, White Cheddar and Heirloom Tomato Frittata - Low Carb, Gluten Free

Frittatas are my go to breakfast when I just have a hodge podge of random ingredients in my fridge. I love to throw together leftovers, mix them with eggs, bake it in the oven and call it breakfast. I made one the other morning with leftover meatballs, sweet and spicy green beans, garlic and cheese. It may sound like an odd combination, but let me just tell you, it was fan-friggin-tastic!
