Italian Sausage Pesto Frittata

This recipe is very easy to modify for the number of people you want to feed. The basics are you need eggs, dairy, and veggies. The proportions can be whatever looks good in the pan to you. I typically use whatever veggies I have in my fridge as well as a meat of some sort.

An example recipe of frittata for 4-5 ppl:

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb Mild Italian Sausage
• 12 Eggs
• 1 tbsp of Pesto
• 4 oz Mascarpone (can sub heavy cream or milk 1/4-1/2 cup)
• handful of shredded Italian Cheese (can sub any cheese you like)
• 3/4 of a small Onion or 1/2 of a large Onion, diced
• 1/4 jar of roasted Bell Pepper OR 3/4 of a Bell Pepper, any color, diced
• 6 Bella Mushrooms, sliced
• Garlic Powder
• Salt
• Pepper

Prep:

1. Dice your Onion and Bell Pepper.
2. Slice your Mushrooms.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
4. Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper.

Cook:

1. Sauté and crumble your Italian Sausage.
2. Once done, remove.
3. Sauté your Onions, Bell Peppers, and Mushrooms. Salt and pepper as they sauté.
4. Once done, remove.

Eggs:

1. As Sausage or Veggies are cooking, put the mascarpone and pesto into a big bowl.
2. Mix (this helps keep things from staying too chunky once we add the eggs).
3. Crack and add all of your eggs.
4. Add Garlic Powder, Salt, and Pepper.
5. Mix until as homogenous as possible. There will still be chunks of mascarpone/pesto, they taste good though.
6. Add the handful of shredded Italian Cheese and stir.

Bake:

1. Arrange your Italian Sausage, Onion, Bell Peppers, and Mushrooms on the parchment paper in the 9×13 pan. (I sprinkle evenly with my hands).
2. Pour the Egg mixture over the top. If there isn’t enough egg mixture for your liking, whip some more eggs and drizzle around the pan.
3. Bake until the Egg mixture is set. 25 minutes maybe?

Eat:

1. Let rest and then remove from pan and cut.
2. Eat.
