Sausage and Green Onion Frittata

Sausage and green onion frittata is an Italian-style egg dish made by cooking beaten eggs with sausage and green onions (also called scallions), often with cheese, herbs, or vegetables mixed in.

In simple terms:

It’s like a crustless quiche or a thicker, heartier omelet.

Main ingredients:

Eggs

Cooked sausage

Green onions

Often:

Cheese

Milk or cream

Savory and rich from the eggs and sausage

Mildly sharp/fresh from the green onions

Fluffy or creamy depending on how it’s made

It’s commonly eaten for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together: eggs milk salt pepper Stir in about half of the sliced green onions and set aside.
Heat your skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes. Break it into small crumbles as it cooks. If there is a lot of grease, drain off most of it.
Add the remaining green onions to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, just until slightly softened.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and onions. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on top. Let it cook on the stove 2 to 3 minutes, until the edges just begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Cut into 4 wedges and serve.
