Ingredients
Frittata Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½ lb Italian or breakfast sausage
- 1 cup chopped kale
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- ¼ cup milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven temperature to 375 °F (190 °C) to get it ready for baking the frittata.
- Cook the sausage: Place the sausage in an oven-safe skillet and cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Sauté the kale: Add the chopped kale to the skillet with the sausage and sauté for about 2 minutes until the kale is wilted and tender.
- Prepare egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine and bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and kale in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm as a nutritious brunch or meal-prep option.
Notes
- Add crushed red pepper flakes to the egg mixture or as a topping for a spicy kick.
- Use an oven-safe nonstick or cast iron skillet for best results.
- Substitute sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
- For extra veggies, add diced bell peppers or onions when sautéing.
