Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp butter, divided
- 1 lb Italian sausage, removed from casings
- 2 bell peppers, diced
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk or cream
- ½ cup sun dried tomatoes
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, divided
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- Salt, pepper and crushed red pepper to taste
- Torn parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt 2 Tbsp butter until bubbling and foamy. Add Italian sausage and break apart with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring constantly, until sausage is mostly crumbled and browned in places, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain on a paper towel lined plate.
- Return pan to heat and add additional butter. Cook peppers until softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs and milk until smooth. Stir in a pinch of salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Fold in cooked sausage and peppers, as well as sun dried tomatoes and ¼ cup parmesan cheese.
- Spray a 9×9” baking dish with cooking spray and pour in egg mixture. Add the ricotta cheese by the spoonful throughout the frittata. Top with additional cheese, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Top with roughly chopped parsley and enjoy.
