Hearty Brunch Frittata

  • Olive oil
  • 2 links lean spicy Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
  • 1 sweet white onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes 
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 9 eggs
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Lightly drizzle olive oil a large oven-safe skillet and heat over medium heat.  Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon into small crumbles while cooking.  Drain the fat in a colander and set aside.

Lightly drizzle olive oil in the same pan and add the onion and bell peppers.  Season with garlic powder and red pepper flakes.  Saute over  medium heat until soft and browned, about 8 minutes.  Add the cooked sausage back to the pan and mix everything together so that it is in a single layer on the bottom of the pan and season with freshly ground black pepper.


Reduce the heat to low.

Beat the eggs in a  mixing bowl and season with 1 tsp. salt.  Pour the eggs over the sausage, onion, pepper mixture.  Cook until the sides are set and top is almost set, about 8 minutes.

Preheat the broiler.

Sprinkle mozzarella over the top of the eggs and transfer to the bottom rack of the broiler, cooking until eggs are set and it is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.  

Remove from the oven and let sit in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing.  Enjoy!
