Sausage and Spinach Frittata
---------------------------------------------------------
I love a good frittata! My hubby got me some gorgeous enameled cast iron pans and this is one of the first meals I tried out with the skillet. It was so yummy! I think an excellent addition to this recipe would be some diced tomatoes to compliment the spice of the sausage (maybe next time, hubby’s not fond of tomatoes – more for me!). This recipe makes plenty for a big family or to pack up for leftovers tomorrow, about 8 entree-size servings.
Sausage & Spinach Frittata
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 medium-sized onion, chopped
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausage
- 3/4 cup frozen chopped spinach
- 17 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat Broiler
Warm oil in a large cast iron skillet under medium heat. Add chopped onion & cook until soft. Remove the sausage from it’s casing (or just buy ground sausage) and chop. Add to skillet, cook for about 5-6 minutes until meat & onions are brown.
While meat is browning, whisk eggs, milk, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese, salt & pepper in a bowl
Once the meat & onions are brown, add spinach to the skillet. Stir for a couple of minutes to warm the spinach
Reduce heat to low & pour egg mixture in skillet. Stir to combine.
Cook until edges are set, about 12-15 minutes (don’t stir the mixture, but occasionally shake the pan a bit to test setting)
Sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese on top, then put under the broiler for 5 minutes until golden brown.
Be careful when taking out of broiler! Refrigerate leftovers
