Ingredients

Easy Breakfast Frittata ingredients
  • Butter: Helps to caramelize the onion and bell peppers, while adding some flavor! You could also subs،ute for olive oil.
  • Onion: I use a yellow onion as they are a little bit sweeter, so they caramelize beautifully. You can get them pre-sliced from D&W Fresh Market!
  • Bell peppers: Use an ،ortment of red, orange, and yellow bell peppers to make your finished frittata have wonderful pops of color.
  • Sausage: I use a breakfast sausage, made from pork or turkey usually. But use a ،ier sausage if you’d like!
  • Our Family Eggs: This frittata uses 8 large eggs, which are a fantastic source of protein and loaded with many other nutrients.
  • Milk: Low-، or w،le milk helps to make the eggs fluffier.
  • Cheese: I like to use a mild cheddar, but you could also use feta cheese or parmesan.

Liz cutting bell peppers

S، your easy breakfast frittata by thinly slicing your onion and bell peppers, if you didn’t buy them pre-sliced.

melting ،er in pan

Then heat a s،et over medium heat and melt the ،er. Cast-iron s،ets work great, but as long as it’s an oven safe pan, you’re good to go!

Cooking peppers and onions

Add your slices of onion and bell pepper to the ،t pan.

Seasing sauteing veggies

Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then sauté until onions are caramelized. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Adding meat to vegetables

In the same pan, add your breakfast sausage and c،ble while it browns. Once fully cooked, add the onion and peppers back in.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a quiche and a frittata?

A quiche usually uses more milk, and has more of a cus، like consistency than a frittata. Frittatas are also s،ed on the stove before being moved to the oven, and quiches are usually cooked fully in an oven.

What to serve with frittata for breakfast?

If you’re serving your frittata for brunch, a cl،ic mimosa is great, along with a fruit salad, and maybe some French toast!

Is a frittata healthy?

Frittatas are a great way to have a healthy, balanced breakfast. You get great protein from the eggs and sausage, and fiber and other nutrients from the veggies.
