Sausage Mushroom Pizza Frittata Recipes

SHEET PAN SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM PIZZA

Steps:

• For the dough: combine the flour, sugar, salt and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Combine the warm water and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a liquid measuring cup. Turn the mixer to low and add the water mixture, mixing until a loose ball forms. (You can also do this by hand: Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, then add the water and oil and stir with a wooden spoon.)
• Increase the speed to medium-high and knead the dough until smooth and slightly tacky, about 7 minutes. (If using your hands, gather the dough into a ball, turn it out onto a floured surface and knead, dusting your hands and the surface as needed with flour, until the dough is smooth and slightly tacky, about 5 minutes.)
• Pour the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil into an 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet or rectangular black steel pan. Transfer the ball of dough to the pan, turning to coat it with oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until the dough fills about two-thirds of the pan, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Slide your hands under the dough and lift, gently stretching it to fit the pan. (It's OK if it doesn't stretch to the corners.) For the final rise, loosely cover with plastic wrap and set aside until slightly puffy, 30 to 45 minutes.
• While the dough rises, position the oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. If you have a pizza stone, put it on the lower rack. Preheat the oven to its highest bake setting, 500 to 525 degrees F. Once the oven comes to temperature, heat for at least 1 hour before baking your pizza.
• For the pizza: stir the crushed tomatoes, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper together in a medium bowl or 2-cup liquid measuring cup until combined.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until it is browned at the edges and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving the rendered fat in the pan. Add the mushrooms to the hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are tender, about 4 minutes. Remove to a separate bowl to cool.
• When the dough has risen and is ready for topping, sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan evenly over it all the way to the edges. Arrange the mozzarella over the dough leaving a 1/2-inch border. Spoon the tomato sauce over the cheese leaving some of the cheese exposed. Sprinkle the cooled sausage and mushrooms over the sauce, then sprinkle with the remaining 3 tablespoons Parmesan.
• Put the pizza pan directly on the pizza stone if using, and bake until the crust is browned at the edges and the cheese is bubbling and browned in spots, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pan to a wire rack to cool slightly before removing the pizza from the pan, about 10 minutes. Top with torn basil, cut into squares and serve.

SAUSAGE AND WILD MUSHROOM FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12- to 14-inch nonstick ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat until it starts to smoke. Add the shallots, mushrooms and thyme and cook until the mushrooms start to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage starts to brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Transfer the mushroom and sausage mixture to a paper towel-lined plate. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.
• Place the pan back on the stove over medium heat and add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Whisk the eggs in a bowl with the cream. Once the oil in the pan starts to smoke, add the egg mixture to the pan, making sure to swirl the pan as it goes in.
• Set aside some of the mushroom and sausage mixture for garnish. Gently spread the rest of the mushroom and sausage mixture evenly over the top of the uncooked eggs. Sprinkle with the Gruyere and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until puffed and just beginning to color, about 18 minutes.
• Flip the frittata out of the pan onto a cutting board or sheet pan. Garnish the top with dollops of creme fraiche, watercress and the reserved mushroom and sausage mixture.

TARRAGON, MUSHROOM & SAUSAGE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. Heat the oil in a medium-sized, non-stick frying pan, add the mushrooms and fry over a high heat for 3 mins. Squeeze the sausagemeat out of their skins into nuggets, add to the pan and fry for a further 5 mins until golden brown. Add the garlic and asparagus and cook for another 1 min.
• Whisk the eggs, soured cream, mustard and tarragon in a jug. Season well, then pour the egg mixture in to the pan. Cook for 3-4 mins, then grill for a further 1-2 mins or until the top has just set with a slight wobble in the middle. Serve with the salad leaves, if you like.
