This Sausage and Mushroom Frittata is perfect for a weekend brunch or for a breakfast-for-dinner night—it’s fast, easy, inexpensive, and nutritious. Speaking of nutritious, white button mushrooms have a huge nutrivore score of 1872! In addition to being an inexpensive dinner, this frittata is also a fast meal to prepare. I save time by keeping chopped red pepper and onion in my freezer (it can be thrown into the pan frozen) and buying pre-sliced mushrooms. If you buy sausage with casings, you can either give it a good chop or remove the casings completely. In sum, a wonderful way to save money on your grocery bill is to have breakfast for dinner from time to time. This recipe is a family favorite.

Ingredients

1/2 medium yellow onion diced
1/2 medium red pepper diced
3 cups mushrooms thinly sliced
8 oz sausage loose
8 large eggs beaton

Instructions

Heat an oven proof skillet (like my 12” cast iron frying pan) over medium high heat and pre-heat broiler on high.
Add sausage to pan and break apart with a wooden spoon or spatula while it cooks. (No oil is necessary here if you have a nice fatty sausage. If you are using a very lean sausage, add a tablespoon of oil).
Add onion, pepper and mushroom and sauté, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are cooked.
Add beaten eggs. Let cook on stove top 1-2 minutes, stirring a couple of times.
Place skillet in oven on middle rack and broil until eggs are completely cooked, puffed up and starting to brown on top (about 7-10 minutes, varies oven to oven so watch carefully) .
