Frittatas are the Italian equivalent to an omelette. Often chock full of vegetables and cheese, they make a great quick, mid-week entree or sliced into wedges, a perfect appetizer.
Ingredients:
1 Medium Potatoes, Cooked And Cut Into 1 Inch Cubes
1/2 Onion, Chopped Finely
4 Tablespoons Butter
6 Eggs
Salt & Pepper
6 - 8 Sausage Links Removed From Casings( I use Iserno's Chicken Italian Sausage)
1/4 Cup Thinly Sliced Basil
2 Cups Sauteed Spinach Squeezed Dry( or I just throw the spinach in after I get done cooking the sausage, you can use swiss chard too)
1/2 Cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese( Or grated Guyrere cheese works well)
Heat the butter in a large oven proof skillet, and cook the sausage until browned, breaking the meat up into tiny pieces with a fork while it cooks.
Add the onions and continue cooking until they are golden and soft.
Add the potatoes and continue cooking until the potatoes begin to take on color.
Add the basil, spinach, and cheese and season with salt and pepper.
Beat the eggs together, and then pour this mixture into the saucepan.
Turn the heat to low and watch carefully.
Once the eggs have set on the bottom, and the only remaining moistness is in the center, place the skillet under the broiler until the top is set and golden.( must be a oven proof pan!)
