I don’t know about you, but I love eggs! They’re a fantastic, little food! Aren’t they? I mean, think about how much the egg can do. On its own, it can be scrambled, cooked sunny-side up, over easy, poached, hard boiled, or soft boiled. For breakfast alone, there’s a multitude of ways you can turn an egg into a stunning, delicious dish! We can talk about how an egg can turn pie or pastry into a beautiful, golden work of art, or how you can’t make cake without an egg (okay, you can, but humor me).
One of my favorite ways to use eggs is in a frittata! Frittatas are kind of like a big, open-faced frittata. You can add anything to them – meat, veggies, cheese – and the result is bound to be delicious! Plus, they’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner! Have a slice for breakfast with your morning cup of coffee or serve a frittata with salad for lunch or dinner!
Italian Sausage and Baby Broccoli Frittata
I had a ton of eggs in the house recently – like three cartons including one 18-count! So I decided to make one of my favorite frittata combos of sausage and sun-dried tomatoes. Then, I decided to make that combo even better by using up some of the veggies sitting in our fridge.
Hungryroot added sweet baby broccoli in our last box. I had no idea what it was or how I should use it. Turns out, it’s part broccoli, part Chinese kale, and pretty darn tasty! It worked really well alongside the sausage, onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta in this frittata!
If you can’t find sweet baby broccoli in the store, I would sub in some kale or chopped broccoli florets. And if heavy cream is a little too heavy for you, you could use milk. But the heavy cream gives this frittata a creamy texture and its fluffiness!
Also, I used hot Italian sausage in this frittata, which gave it a spicy, little kick! If you’re not a fan of heat, you could totally use a sweet Italian sausage in its place.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
- 1/2 lb. ground Italian sausage, hot or sweet
- 5-6 stalks sweet baby broccoli, stems trimmed
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 6 large eggs
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Heat extra virgin olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sausage to the pan and brown. Once the sausage is cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside.
- If necessary, drizzle a little more oil in the skillet. Add the baby broccoli and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until it starts to brown on the edges. Remove and set aside.
- Add the sliced onion to the pan and cook until softened and translucent. Remove and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the eggs and heavy cream. Whisk together and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes.
- As the eggs start to cook, add the sausage, baby broccoli, onion, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta cheese.
- Cook the frittata in the oven for about 18 minutes, or until the frittata is puffy, the center is cooked through, and the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the frittata to cool slightly before serving. Then, cut into slices.
One frittata will serve about six people, making it a great dish to make for a brunch gathering or family dinner! I like to make frittatas at the end of the week to use up veggies and whatever else is hanging out in our fridge. Then, I cut the frittata into slices and wrap them up in individual portions to heat and eat throughout the week!
