Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion chopped, medium
- 2 Italian sausage removed from casing, mild
- 2 cups spinach chopped (frozen spinach works as well, fresh
- 6 egg
- 1 cup bocconcini cut in half
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- Add the butter to a medium skillet, add onion and cook until tender. Remove the casings from the sausages and add the the skillet; break with a wooden spoon and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until sausage is cooked. Add spinach and cook an additional 2 minutes until spinach has wilted. Season with salt and pepper if needed, sausages usually have enough spices in them that no salt or pepper is necessary.
- If you're using the small bocconcini balls cut them in half otherwise if they're the bigger ones, slice them up.
- Whisk the 6 eggs and pour over the sausage and spinach mixture; stir and cook for a few seconds, until the eggs start setting a bit. Add the bocconcini pieces over the top of the eggs and place the skillet under the broiler. Leave the skillet under the broiler for about 3 to 5 minutes, making sure the cheese doesn't burn.
- Slice and serve hot.
Notes
- Sausage Variation: While mild Italian sausage is recommended, spicy variants can be used for added heat.
- Spinach Substitute: Fresh kale or chard can replace spinach for a slightly different texture and flavor.
- Bocconcini Size: If using larger bocconcini balls, ensure they're thinly sliced for even melting and distribution.
- Cooking Tip: Avoid overcooking the frittata; it continues to cook slightly even after removal from the heat due to the residual heat of the skillet.
- Serving Suggestion: Pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables on the side.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Best enjoyed reheated in an oven or on a skillet over low heat.
