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.
