I used to be the girl who’d see a word like “frittata” and just keep moving right along. I have shared so many times that I am not a gourmet chef. I don’t necessarily even love to cook. However, when I find an easy recipe or find myself throwing things together in the kitchen that actually work out, it’s worth documenting! Haha!
Don’t let the word frittata scare you! It’s a just fancy word for eggs, milk, cheese, meat and veggies. And honestly? Your options are endless.
Why Frittatas Are Perfect for Any Meal
If you’re looking for a low-carb option, this dish is perfect. It’s packed with protein and vegetables, making it a healthy and versatile meal. Plus, it’s easy to tailor to whatever ingredients you have on hand. And the best part? You only need one pan—especially if you have a cast iron skillet!
Ingredients for the Perfect Frittata:
1 lb. Breakfast Sausage (Cooked and Crumbled)
8-10 Eggs
⅔ C Milk
1 C Shredded Cheese
1 Clove Garlic
¼ Red Onion
2 Cups Fresh Spinach
3 Mini Peppers Diced
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Directions: How to Make an Easy Frittata
Cook the Sausage Cook and crumble your breakfast sausage over medium heat. Remove from the pan and allow it to drain.
Sauté the Veggies In the same pan, add the garlic, onion and peppers. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they’re tender. Then, add spinach and cook until wilted.
Prepare the Egg Mixture While the veggies are cooking, whisk together 8-10 eggs, ⅔ cup of milk and ¾ cup of shredded cheese in a mixing bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Combine Everything Add the cooked sausage back into the pan with the veggies. Pour the egg mixture over the meat and veggies. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
Cook and Bake Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop until the edges are set. Then, transfer the pan to a preheated oven at 350°F and bake for 20-22 minutes.
Cook on the stovetop until the edges are set.
Endless Customization for a Winning Dish
That’s it! A super delicious, healthy and relatively easy dish to make. And you don’t have to use veggies or meat like I did. A lot of times, I’ll just throw bacon pieces in for the meat to save time. Some people will add tomatoes, feta cheese or other exciting things.
We love to serve ours with a side of fruit and a great big cup of coffee. However, tonight, we will be eating this for supper! The options are endless with this winner!
Until next time,
