Ingredients

  • 8 whole Eggs
  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 2 whole Bell peppers (mixed colors)
  • 1/2 whole Onion
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the 2 whole bell peppers and the 1/2 whole onion into 1/2-inch dice.
  2. 2Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Remove the 1 lb Italian sausage from its casing, add it to the skillet, and break it into small pieces. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C); drain any excess grease. Add the diced 2 whole bell peppers and diced 1/2 whole onion to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
  3. 3While the vegetables cook, in a large bowl, whisk together the 8 whole eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  4. 4Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the sausage and vegetables in the skillet. Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  5. 5The frittata is done when the center is set (no longer jiggly), the edges are golden brown, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool in the skillet for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving; this allows it to set fully for easier slicing.
