Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup diced Andouille sausage
- 1/2 cup bell peppers
- 1/2 cup onions
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the middle of the oven.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced Andouille sausage until it begins to brown and release its smoky oils, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet, sautéing with the sausage until the vegetables become soft and slightly translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
- Transfer the sausage and vegetable mixture to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe baking dish, spreading evenly across the bottom.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables, ensuring even distribution.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly across the top of the frittata.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the frittata to set completely.
- Slice into wedges and serve hot, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best heat distribution and a beautiful golden crust.
- Make sure to sauté the Andouille sausage and vegetables thoroughly to develop deep, rich flavors.
- Whisk eggs vigorously to incorporate air, resulting in a lighter, fluffier frittata.
- Don't overcook! Remove the frittata from the oven when the center is just set to prevent dryness.
- Let the frittata rest for a few minutes after baking to allow it to set completely.
- For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley as a garnish.
- This recipe is incredibly versatile - feel free to swap ingredients based on what you have on hand.
