Sausage Fontina Frittata Recipes

FONTINA FRITTATA WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Saute sausage in oil in a 10"nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until nearly cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• Add onion and cook 2 more minutes, or until onion is softened.
• Stir in spinach, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook 1-2 minutes.
• Remove and set aside.
• Wipe out skillet and coat generously with nonstick spray.
• Combine eggs, cream, and salt in a blender until frothy.
• Pour egg mixture into the hot saute pan and cook over medium heat just until curds form, stirring constantly.
• Stir in sausage mixture and cheese, transfer pan to oven, and bake 15-20 minutes, or until set in the center.
• To unmold frittata, place a large plate, serving side down, over the pan and carefully flip the pan and plate over simultaneously to release. Place another plate on the frittata, invert again, and slice into wedges.

FRITTATA WITH ASPARAGUS, TOMATO, AND FONTINA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Whisk the eggs, cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend. Set aside. Heat the oil and butter in a 9 1/2-inch-diameter nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and saute until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the tomato and a pinch of salt and saute 2 minutes longer. Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus mixture and cook for a few minutes until the eggs start to set. Sprinkle with cheese. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the frittata is almost set but the top is still runny, about 2 minutes. Place the skillet under the broiler. Broil until the top is set and golden brown on top, about 5 minutes. Let the frittata stand 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from skillet and slide the frittata onto a plate.

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.

ARUGULA AND FONTINA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Cook garlic in oil in a 10-inch well-seasoned cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 2 minutes. Discard garlic and add arugula, then cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until combined, then pour over arugula in skillet and cook, undisturbed, over moderate heat until almost set, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top and broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until eggs are just set and cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.

SAUSAGE, EGG AND KALE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Generously butter a large 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
• Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add sausage and cook, stirring to break it up, until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish, spreading it in an even layer.
• Add 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Add red onion, salt it lightly and cook, stirring frequently, until it starts to take on color, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish and arrange evenly on top of the sausage.
• Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet and heat over medium. Add kale, season it lightly with salt and pepper, cover and cook, occasionally tossing with tongs until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish and arrange evenly on top of the onions. Top with the grape tomatoes and fontina.
• Whisk together the eggs and cream in a large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. (If making ahead of time, wrap the baking dish and egg mixture separately and refrigerate until needed.)
• Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the baking dish, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until the eggs are just set in the middle, 25 to 30 minutes. (Increase the baking time by about 15 minutes if the components were refrigerated ahead of time.).
• Broil until the top is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with Aleppo, if using.
