SAUSAGE CHEESE AND PEPPER FRITTATA

2nd Man made a frittata the other day and it was so good.  I've posted some before, figured it was time to post again.  The good thing about a frittata is that you can put just about anything in them.  Eggs, veggies, meat, cheese, it's all good.

We had these peppers and some asparagus...

He chopped it all up, saving some of the long red peppers for the "rings"...

Unfortunately I missed a couple photos, not sure what happened.  We had a package of breakfast sausage links and cooked them in the skillet until they were done, removed them and set aside...

Put the veggies in the same skillet the sausage was cooked in so that you have the residual oil from that to keep them from sticking (side note, you could have used bacon, ham, even hamburger meat)...

Cook about 5 minutes or until the vegetables all start to soften...

 Another missed picture, while they were cooking, he beat up about 8 to 9 eggs (depends on how many other ingredients you have, the size of the eggs, etc, you don't want to overflow your pan).  Then add some seasoning (whatever you like), for this one he used salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic, onion powder, and dried parsley...

He poured the beaten egg mixture into the hot pan with the veggies and of course the egg starts to set up.  He arranged the cooked sausages on top along with the reserved pepper rings and popped it in a preheated 350 degree oven...

Let it bake for about 10 minutes or until eggs are almost done and set.  Remove from oven, top with a cup or so of shredded cheese (I guess I missed that picture too, ha), any variety this is cheddar, and put back in the oven for about 5 more minutes or until...

...the cheese is golden and bubbly!  Remove from oven, let it cool for about 5 minutes.  It will be very puffed up when you first remove it and will be what we like to call "rocket hot", ha.  Be careful!

Slice it up just like a pie and serve.  It's so good and a great way to use up leftover or extra veggies.  It's also not just of breakfast, we often have a couple slices for dinner and then a couple more the next day for breakfast and/or lunch too.  

Enjoy!
