Jimmy Dean Breakfast Frittata Recipes

ZESTY SAUSAGE BREAKFAST FRITTATA

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• 2. In an ovenproof skillet (I used my medium sized cast iron skillet) cook and chop the breakfast sausage until browned and in small pieces. *** NOTE: Jimmy Dean sausage is very lean and has almost no fat that cooks out. If using a different brand or type of sausage, you may need to drain excess fat, at this point. ***
• 3. Add the diced onion and cook for a couple minutes more, until onions are translucent. Add the green chilies and stir to combine; remove from the heat and level out the meat mixture.
• 4. In a large bowl, crack the 6 eggs; add salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until well blended. Add the cheddar and 1/4 cup of the quesadilla blend cheese; stir to combine. *** NOTE: I personally did not add any salt, as the cheese and sausage have plenty, but did add a generous amount of fresh ground pepper. ***
• 5. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the sausage mixture and cook in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are set.
• 6. In the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup quesadilla blend cheese on top to melt. Remove from oven, slice in wedges and serve immediately.

SAUSAGE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Cook sausage in large nonstick skillet over medium heat 4-5 minutes or until hot. Stir in potatoes.
• Beat eggs, cheese, salt and pepper in large bowl with wire whisk. Pour over sausage mixture.
• Cook over medium-high heat 2 minutes, occasionally lifting edge with spatula and tilting skillet to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. (Do not stir.)
• Reduce heat to medium-low; cover. Cook 14-17 minutes or until eggs are set.
• Top with tomato and onions. Cut into 8 wedges to serve.

SUNRISE SAUSAGE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a cast iron skillet or 8-inch cake pan with oil and set aside. In a bowl, beat eggs and milk together until they are an even consistency. Add cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and mix.
• In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces, then drain.
• Place sausage, arugula, and tomatoes in the sprayed pan and spread into an even layer. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and sausage. Put the pan into the oven and cook for about 20 minutes, until the center is set.
• Carefully remove the frittata from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

JIMMY DEAN BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 F. In large skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink. In large mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, mustard and salt; stir well.
• Distribute half the bread evenly in a buttered 9 x 13 x 2 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with half the pepper, half the cheese, half the sausage and half of each optional ingredient. Repeat layering using remaining bread, pepper, cheese, sausage and optional ingredients. Pour egg mixture evenly over casserole.
• Bake uncovered for 55-60 minutes, or until eggs are set. Tent with foil if top begins to brown too quickly.

JIMMY DEAN BREAKFAST FRITTATA

Steps:

• 1. You can assemble this the night before and pop it in the oven to bake the next morning. However, I'm not that organized. I put it together in the morning and bake it as soon as it is done. Works just fine either way.
• 2. Grease a 2 qt. casserole pan with butter.
• 3. Trim crusts off bread. Cube slices and spread on shallow baking sheet. Bake or broil until cubes are dry, stir half way through so cubes are flipped over. I usually bake the bread cubes at 350 for about 10 min. You don't want croutons, just slightly dried out bread cubes.
• 4. Brown crumbled sausage until thoroughly cooked. Drain off fat.
• 5. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
• 6. Place bread cubes evenly in bottom of baking dish.
• 7. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of bread cubes. Add sausage on top.
• 8. Mix salt, dry mustard, pepper and onion powder together (this helps to keep the mustard from getting lumpy).
• 9. Add milk and spices to beaten eggs. Mix well.
• 10. Gently pour mixture on top of meat, cheese, bread mixture.
• 11. Bake uncovered for 1 hour. Cover with foil if the top gets too brown before center is done. (Test with toothpick or wooden skewer. It should come out clean.) Frittata will puff up in oven but sinks a bit when removed.
• 12. Serve with salsa, green onions, peppers, sour cream, etc. Very good reheated for a quick snack or lunch.
