Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cups milk
- 0.5 pounds Italian sausage
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 small yellow onion
- 0.75 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Remove the casing from the Italian sausage and break it up into small pieces while cooking in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix it with the sautéed vegetables.
Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly across the skillet, then pour the whisked egg mixture over the top, ensuring it covers everything evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese over the egg mixture.
Cook the frittata on the stovetop over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, just until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before slicing into wedges and serving.
