Healthy and cheap meal.

I was watching Giada at Home tonight and for dinner she was making breakfast foods, which I don't usually like, but tonight I really fancied it. She made the most delicious looking omelette I've ever seen, so I decided that's what we were going to have for dinner tonight with a simple in a little bit of regular olive oil for about 3 minutes until they were soft, then I added about 2 teaspoons of crushed fennel seed, and a bit of salt and pepper. When the onions were I soft, I added 1/2 a pound of regular sausage meat and broke that up and cooked it until it was all brown and well cooked, abut 5-8 minutes; set the pan aside and let it cool. I then preheated the oven to 425, greased an 8x8 baking dish with butter, and whisked together 8 eggs with 1/2 a cup of whole milk or half and half (I used half and half because we don't buy whole milk) and a little bit of salt and pepper. I then chopped up one bell pepper and stirred that through, but I HATE bell peppers so I think next time I would try something else that I do like, like asparagus. Giada used gruyere cheese, but we had a lot of english cheddar so I used that instead, you want to grate 1 1/2 cups, but only stir 1 cup into the egg mixture. Add a bit of salt and pepper, maybe some tabasco if you like spice, and then stir in the cooled sausage and onion mixture. Pour that into the baking dish, sprinkle with the 1/2 cup of left over cheese, and bake in the oven until the top is golden brown and the eggs are cooked, about 20-25 minutes. We had ours with a side salad, but Giada had hers with cinnamon and pancetta waffles (not too sure about those?), but I think it would also be nice with hashbrowns, toast, fries, crusty bread...
