Sausage Frittata with Summer Squash
A hearty and flavorful dish perfect for any meal of the day, this frittata combines savory sausage, tender summer squash, and melted cheese into a satisfying bake.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1-1 ½ cups yellow summer squash sliced into thin rounds
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 stems green onions with one reserved for garnish
- 1 lb. mild breakfast sausage ground
Instructions
- Set the oven to preheat at 350°F.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage, crumbling it as it browns. Drain any residual liquid once fully cooked.
- Coat the bottom of an oven-safe skillet or baking dish with olive oil, then layer in the squash slices.
- Mix the garlic into the browned sausage and distribute this mixture evenly over the squash.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper until the mixture is smooth and pale.
- Fold in both cheeses and two of the chopped green onion stems, reserving a portion of the cheese if desired for topping.
- Evenly pour the egg mixture over the squash and sausage in the skillet, topping with any reserved cheese.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the frittata is set and the eggs are fully cooked but not dry.
- Sprinkle the reserved green onion over the top as garnish before serving.
