Cheesy Sausage Frittata Recipe
Cheesy Sausage Frittata Recipe
Cheesy sausage frittata is one of those recipes that uses lots of super simple ingredients that you can easily pick up from the supermarket on the way home. It’s also extremely versatile — you can pretty much include whatever you like!
With just ten to fifteen minutes of preparation and another 40 minutes of baking, this easy frittata can be on your table with a some dressed salad leaves for a simple family meal everyone will enjoy.
Here’s what you’ll need to make this down to earth family favourite:
A packet of sausages, a packet of microwaveable baby potatoes in butter and parsley, a punnet of cherry tomatoes, eggs, cream, cheese, shallots, parsley and olive oil.
You could make this meal with sweet potato or pumpkin substituting for some of the potatoes, or you could grate zucchini or carrot or add some frozen peas if desired. Use chicken sausages, leftover ham or bacon instead. There are lots of ways you can switch this meal up!
Firstly, cook the potatoes as per packet directions — you could use normal potatoes for this instead of the tray of baby potatoes, but this just seems easier, you know? Then pan fry the sausages and slice thickly.
Now combine the sausages, potatoes, shallots, parsley and tomatoes in a casserole dish.
Now sprinkle with grated cheese, whisk the eggs and cream together and pour over the top.
Now pop it into the oven for about 40 minutes or so. Your mileage may vary here, depending on your oven settings, and you may need to cover your frittata in foil if it starts to darken on top while it’s baking.
You’ll be able to tell when it is done when you slice into it and it is firmly set — no runny egg oozing out where you’ve cut.
Serve your frittata with some salad leaves for a cheap and easy family meal!
