Breakfast frittata

Frittatas are a fantastic way to use up all the little bits and bobs you have lingering in your fridge. That's probably not the most flattering description, but it's true. It certainly was for our family this morning, when I whipped one up using some leftover bell pepper and spinach, topped it with a load of cheese, and popped it into the oven for brunch. No surprise, my wife loved it. Much more of a surprise, so did my kid. I enjoyed it too, mainly because it fulfilled my three personal requirements for a good frittata. First, it has to have meat, or something like it. Whether that's sausage, bacon, or smoked tofu...it needs meatiness. Second, it has to have some sort of juicy vegetable component. And third, it has to have onions. For some reason, a frittata without onions seems incomplete to me. Put these things together, and you've got guaranteed deliciousness.

Ingredient

Food ration :

6 servings

Cooking time :

30 minutes

4 links

breakfast sausage

onion, thinly sliced

3 cloves

garlic, thinly sliced

green bell pepper, chopped

1 cup

baby spinach

large eggs

1/2 cup

heavy cream

heap tbsp sour cream

1 cup

grated mozzarella cheese

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Fry the breakfast sausages in a 10-in overproof skillet. Once cooked, set them aside and add the onions and a glug of olive oil. Fry until the onions are nicely browned, about 10 minutes. The onions will give off liquid, so use them to clean off any sticky goodness the sausages left on the bottom of the pan.

* Step 2

Add the garlic and pepper to the pan and continue frying for 2 or 3 minutes. Add the spinach, and give them a minute to wilt down before tossing everything together. Chop the sausage into 1/2 cm coins and return them to the pan. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, then take the pan off the heat.

* Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375 F. While you wait, beat together the eggs and cream. Once combined, add the sour cream, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Whisk for a few seconds to work the sour cream into the egg (don't worry if a few specks remain).

* Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the pan, then jiggle the pan to work the liquid in amongst the veg and meat. Sprinkle on the cheese, then pop the pan into the oven for 15 to 18 minutes until cooked (i.e. the frittata's no longer super-wobbly). Optionally, when the frittata is about a minute away from cooked, you can turn on the broiler to brown the top a bit. Serve hot.
