  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 pound raw sausages, casings removed and crumbled (breakfast sausage, Italian sausage, or your choice)
  • 1 cup chopped vegetables of your choice (bell peppers, broccoli, onions, spinach, mushrooms, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, feta, or your favorite)
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven’s broiler.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled raw sausages and cook for about 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  4. Add the chopped vegetables to the skillet with the cooked sausage. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir to distribute the ingredients evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are set.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the frittata. Transfer the skillet to the preheated broiler and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the top is golden and the eggs are fully set.
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for a minute before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

If using lean sausages, add a touch of olive oil to the skillet before cooking. Opt for a variety of colorful veggies to create a visually appealing frittata. Feel free to experiment with different cheese blends for a delightful twist. Don’t hesitate to add a pinch of your favorite herbs or spices to elevate the flavor. Allow the frittata to cool slightly before slicing to ensure clean cuts. Enjoy!
