Combining the savory taste of Italian sausage with the rich sweetness of caramelized onions, this frittata is not only delicious but also easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Crack the 6 eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat them until they are well combined. Season the eggs with 2 dashes of salt and 2 dashes of black pepper. Set aside.
- Slice the onions into thin rings.
- Cut the Italian sausage slices into smaller, bite-sized pieces if they are not pre-cut.
- Heat a medium-sized, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the tablespoon of coconut oil.
- Once the oil has melted and is shimmering, add the sliced onions to the skillet. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and golden brown. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Add the bite-sized Italian sausage pieces to the skillet with the caramelized onions. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sausage is heated through and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Give the beaten eggs a quick stir, then pour them evenly over the onion and sausage mixture in the skillet. Tilt the skillet to help distribute the eggs evenly over the filling.
5. Cook the Frittata:
- Reduce the heat to low and cook the frittata without stirring for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to set. The center should still be slightly runny at this point.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and slightly golden on top.
- Once the frittata is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Carefully slide a spatula around the edges to loosen it from the skillet.
- Cut the frittata into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Italian Sausage and Caramelized Onion Frittata!
Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet to make flipping or transferring the frittata easier.
- Cook the onions over low heat to properly caramelize them without burning.
- Pre-cook the Italian sausage slices to ensure they are perfectly done before combining them with the eggs.
- Beat the eggs thoroughly to ensure a fluffy texture in the frittata.
- Consider adding a splash of milk or cream to the eggs for extra creaminess.
- Ensure the oven is preheated before putting the skillet in, to achieve even cooking.
- Let the frittata rest for a few minutes after removing from the oven to make slicing easier.
A wonderfully rich and satisfying meal, this Italian Sausage and Caramelized Onion Frittata is bound to be a hit. With a few simple ingredients and these helpful tips, you can create a dish that's both impressive and comforting. Enjoy your delicious frittata hot from the oven or save it for a tasty leftover snack throughout the week.
