Sausage and Egg Frittata

 

Ingredients

• 3 Italian sausages, cut into rounds
• 2 bell peppers, medium, sliced
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and whole
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 10 large eggs
• 1/3 cup cream or milk
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. In a medium mixing bowl or large zip-top bag, combine the sausages, sliced peppers, onions, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
3. Arrange the sausage and pepper mixture in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the sausages reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) for pork sausages or 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) for chicken or turkey.
4. Carefully remove the garlic cloves from their peels and mash them with a fork. Mix the mashed garlic into the rest of the sausage and pepper mixture. Taste for seasoning and add more salt as needed.
5. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream until well blended. Whisk in the kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
7. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
8. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sausage and pepper mixture. Arrange the sausage and pepper mixture in an even layer.
9. Sprinkle the top of the frittata with the feta cheese and parsley.
10. Cook the frittata for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, or until the bottom is set and lightly browned and the sides puff slightly.
11. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the top is puffed and slightly browned and the center of the frittata is set.
12. Let the frittata rest for 10 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving warm.

Tips

• For a crispier frittata, cook it in a cast-iron skillet.
• If you don't have a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, you can cook the frittata in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Just be sure to reduce the cooking time accordingly.
• To check if the frittata is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the frittata is done.
• Serve the frittata with your favorite sides, such as toast, fruit, or yogurt.

Enjoy!
