For a simple meal with minimal cleanup, it doesn't get easier than a frittata! This Italian sausage frittata with cherry tomatoes is a quick and healthy brunch or dinner that's also great for meal prep. (gluten-free, nut-free)

Ingredients

Scale
  • Olive oil
  • 1/2 lb Italian sausage (I use turkey sausage)
  • 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella, grated
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly cracked
  • I cup cherry tomatoes
  • Balsamic reduction, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. Heat an oven safe skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add a bit of olive oil if your sausage is lean, then add the sausage and brown in the skillet, breaking apart into crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  3. Remove from heat and sprinkle with mozzarella.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, milk, salt, and pepper and whisk well. Pour egg mixture over sausage and mozzarella.
  5. Evenly spread the tomatoes on top of the egg mixture.
  6. Place the skillet in the oven and bake 20-22 minutes.
  7. Remove frittata and serve warm drizzled with balsamic reduction (optional).

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • You may double the recipe and bake in a greased 9x13 inch pan if you have a bigger crowd.
