Yellow Squash Frittata With Sausage

Yellow Squash Frittata with Sausage

This hearty frittata is a perfect brunch or dinner option. It’s packed with flavorful sausage, tender yellow squash, and creamy cheese, all bound together with fluffy eggs.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 8 ounces ground breakfast sausage
• 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium yellow squash, diced (about 2 cups)
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced (optional)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Cooking Guide:

1. Sauté the Sausage and Veggies: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess grease. Add the onion, yellow squash, and red pepper (if using) to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

2. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, feta cheese, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper.

3. Assemble and Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pour the egg mixture over the cooked sausage and vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir to combine. Bake the frittata for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

4. Serve and Enjoy: Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired.

Tips:

• Use any type of sausage you like: Mild Italian, spicy chorizo, or even vegan sausage crumbles would all work well in this recipe.
• Don’t overcook the squash: You want it to be tender but still have a bit of a bite.
• Add other vegetables: Feel free to add other chopped vegetables to the frittata, such as zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach.
• Make it ahead: This frittata can be easily made ahead of time and reheated in the oven for a quick and easy breakfast or lunch.
• Serve with a side: A simple green salad or some roasted vegetables would be a perfect accompaniment to this frittata.
