Easy Frittata with Vegetables and Sausage

January 2, 2018 by Pam

Easy Frittata with Vegetables and Sausage is the solution to a deliciously healthy breakfast.

About Easy Frittata with Vegetables and Sausage

I love making Frittatas, which is basically the Italian version of a French omelet.

The biggest difference between the two is that the omelet ingredients are tucked inside the egg mixture.

Where the Frittata incorporates all the ingredients into the egg mixture.

The great thing about the Frittata is that it always makes a beautiful presentation.

Whether you serve it to guests or family, they always think you’ve slaved forever.

But actually making a frittata is actually super easy.

The secret of success is sautéing all of your ingredients before hand to bring out the caramelization before you add the egg mixture.

And then you bake it.

And as Ina says, “How easy is that?”

The ingredients I use usually shift around to whatever I happen to have in the refrigerator.

At times I’ve used smoked salmon, or prosciutto, or ham, or bacon, and even chorizo.

But this being just past the indulgent eating Thanksgiving and Holiday seasons, I thought I’d opt for a healthier version.

Vegetables are always included because I love them.

And my husband loves Sausage, so I added turkey sausage to keep it fairly healthy.

And yes, Frittatas demand cheese, at least as far as I’m concerned, so that has to go in as well.

I often use gruyere, but being fresh out I had some fabulous vintage white cheddar cheese.

To save a few calories I don’t add it into the mixture as most recipes call for, I just sprinkle some on the top.

It all works!

Ingredients of Easy Frittata with Vegetables and Sausage

  • Butter
  • Shallots
  • Broccoli
  • Turkey Sausage
  • Eggs
  • Water
  • Tarragon
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Tomatoes
  • White Cheddar Cheese

How to Make Easy Frittata with Vegetables and Sausage

First, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F

Then preheat an oven proof frypan over medium high heat and add butter.

Add diced shallots and mushrooms and sauté 1 minute.

Then add broccoli and sausage and cook 1 more minute before you turn off heat.

In a mixing bowl, add eggs, water, tarragon, salt and pepper and whisk well until thoroughly combined.

Pour egg mixture over vegetables and sausage in the frypan.

Lay sliced tomatoes on top of the eggs.

Then sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese.

Bake 25 minutes until browned.

Insert a toothpick into the middle of the frittata.

If it comes out clean, remove the frittata from the oven.

If not, let the frittata cook 5 minutes more,  then check it again.

After removing, allow the frittata to stand 5 minutes before cutting into portions.

Notes 

I’ve been making frittatas for years and to be honest, I’m not even sure where I learned to make them.

Perhaps it was from one of my favorite cooks, Ina Garten the Barefoot Contessa. 

She does everything amazingly well.

But it also could have been from Alton Brown, a fabulous chef on the Food Network.

I have always loved how he always explains the science of cooking.

Wherever I learned, I have to say I really do love them as much as quiches.

Maybe even more, because the crust in quiches really adds calories, so frittatas are healthier.

Also try Spinach Mushroom Frittata.
