Ingredients
  • 6 Eggs
  • 1/2 lb Italian Sausage (removed from casing)
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/2 Onion (diced)
  • 1/2 Bell Pepper (diced)
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Prepare the Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Dice the onion and bell pepper. Remove the sausage from its casing and crumble it.

Sauté the Sausage and Vegetables

Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

Assemble and Bake the Frittata

Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables in the skillet. Sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Cool and Serve

Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy hot or at room temperature.
