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