Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup cooked chicken sausage, sliced
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure an oven-safe 10-inch non-stick skillet is ready for use.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and whisk thoroughly until well combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned and heated through.
- Add diced bell peppers to the sausage and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until they become slightly softened.
- Transfer the sausage and bell pepper mixture to the oven-safe skillet, spreading them evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, crumbled feta, and grated parmesan cheese evenly over the sausage and peppers.
- Pour the seasoned whisked eggs over the cheese and sausage mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Cook on stovetop over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to set.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Carefully slide the frittata onto a serving plate.
- Slice into wedges and serve hot, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- • For the most perfect frittata, make sure to use an oven-safe skillet to seamlessly transition from stovetop to oven. • Whisk your eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which helps create a lighter, fluffier texture. • Don't overcook the sausage and peppers – you want them just lightly browned to maintain their juicy flavor. • Let the frittata rest for a few minutes after cooking to help it set and make slicing easier. • Experiment with different cheese combinations or add fresh herbs like basil or chives for extra flavor. • Use room temperature eggs for more even cooking and better incorporation of ingredients. • If you don't have chicken sausage, you can substitute with turkey sausage or ham. • For a golden-brown top, consider broiling for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
