Ingredients
- 8 ounces ground hot Italian sausage
- ½ orange bell pepper diced
- ½ red bell pepper diced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese divided
- ½ cup milk
- 12 large eggs
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Thinly sliced chives for garnish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground Italian sausage to the skillet and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully cooked and lightly browned.
- Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and cook for approximately 4 minutes, or until softened.
- Add the spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Season lightly with salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ¾ cup of the shredded Cheddar cheese until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the skillet over the sausage and vegetables. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
- Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of Cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Transfer the skillet to the middle rack of the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the center of the frittata is fully set.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with sliced chives, and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
