Servings 6
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ of a medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- 12 oz chicken sausage, sliced into coins (I used apple chicken sausage)
- 8 eggs
- 4 oz garlic & herb goat cheese, crumbled into pieces
- Sea salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper (omit if you are sensitive to spice)
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat olive oil in a 12" cast iron skillet over medium heat until shimmering, then add onion and saute for about 2 minutes. Add bell pepper and continue to cook over medium heat for another 2 minutes.
- Add sausage and continue sauteing over medium heat for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is browned and pepper is softened.
- While the sausage, peppers, and onions are sauteing, whisk together the eggs, sea salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper in a large bowl until well blended.
- Spread the sauteed pepper and sausage mixture out evenly across the bottom of your skillet and dollop it with goat cheese.
- Increase the heat under the pan to medium-high. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet on top of the sausage, peppers, and onions and continue cooking undisturbed over medium-high heat just until the edges start to set (about three minutes).
- Turn off heat under the pan and sprinkle the frittata with Parmesan, then move the skillet into the oven and bake at 400 degrees for 12-14 minutes, or until set.
- Broil for another two minutes to brown, then remove from oven and let your sausage, pepper, and onions frittata cool for at least five minutes before slicing.
