Oven-baked Sausage Frittata

Finding recipes that bring the family together around the table can be challenging. We like to think of this Sausage Frittata with Veggies as your secret weapon for an easy weeknight dinner or weekend breakfast everyone loves. 

Not only does this frittata recipe include savory sausage and some healthy vegetables nestled inside, but it also has one excellent tasting cheese that’s impossibly creamy and melts to perfection—Cooper® cheese.

As the story goes, in 1893, banker I.C. Cooper decided to put down his balance sheets and start making aged cheese in New York. Today, more than a century after I.C. Cooper first staked his claim in the chronicles of cheese history, Cooper® is a household favorite and a family tradition.

And wow, is it good. Melt in your mouth good! 

Not much can transport you back in time, quite like tasting a recipe you grew up with. That’s the power of Cooper® Sharp. It’s the taste of great memories. Just like grandma’s grilled cheese, you can always count on Cooper® for a little comfort around your table. 

Ingredients for Sausage and Egg Frittata

Eggs – large eggs.
Egg Whites – either from a carton or fresh egg whites that are separated from the yoke.
Crumbled Sausage – ground pork or chicken sausage works well.
Milk – we like a full-fat, but have also made it with low-fat milk with good results.
Garlic Powder – for a little flavor kick.
Olive Oil – to saute the veggies.
Veggies – we like broccoli, spinach, peppers, broccoli, and onions, but whatever your preference, your result will be delicious.
Cheese – we enjoy Cooper® Sharp Yellow Pasteurized Process American Cheese.

Cooper® is so creamy, flavorful, and incredibly versatile. You can slice it, shred it, cube it, and it melts like a dream. That’s why it’s perfect for grilled cheese, tater tot nachos, deli sandwiches, mac and cheese, burgers, salads, and even your midnight snacks! 

Pretty much anything, really, so give it a try.

How To Make A Sausage Frittata Recipe

A Frittata is an egg-based Italian dish similar to an omelet or scrambled eggs. We like to call it a crustless quiche, and it’s pretty straightforward to make. 

The other wonderful thing about an oven-baked sausage frittata is its versatility. You can literally clean out your fridge and use whatever veggies you have on hand to flavor it and punch up the nutrition. 

To start, adjust your oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 400 degrees F. (204 degrees celsius), and grab your skillet!

STEP 1 – BROWN SAUSAGE

First, brown your ground sausage over medium heat in a cast-iron skillet or oven-safe skillet. Then, remove meat from the pan and drain the fat. Set aside.

STEP 2 – COOK VEGGIES

Next, add the olive oil to the same pan and saute the onion and peppers for 3-4 minutes. Add the zucchini and saute 2-3 minutes more. Now, add your spinach and let it cook into the mixture for 1-2 minutes. 

While your vegetables cook on the stove, steam-cook your broccoli in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Drain when it is done.

Tip: You steam cook your broccoli by placing it in a microwave-safe dish with a tiny bit of water, covering it, and then cooking it for a couple of minutes. It should come out tender but not too soft.

Now, mix the cooked broccoli and sausage into the veggie mixture and spread it evenly in the skillet. 

STEP 3 – MIX EGGS AND EGG WHITES

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. 

STEP 4 – ADD CHEESE AND EGGS

Next, add your cubed Cooper® Sharp Yellow Cheese to the top of the sausage and veggies.

Then, pour the egg mixture into the pan over all the ingredients. Top with parmesan cheese if you’d like.

Allow mixture to cook for 3-5 minutes on the stovetop to help the bottom of the frittata set. 

STEP 5 – BAKE

Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Once your frittata is cooked through, turn your oven to broil, move the oven rack to a higher position, and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. 

Let it cool and then slice into wedges and devour. 

How to Store and Use Leftover Frittata

Store leftover frittata in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Your Frittata can be frozen for up to three months if cooled completely and stored in an airtight container.

You can get creative with your leftover sausage and veggie frittata—use a slice as a sandwich filling or toast topper, or break it up for easy breakfast burritos. Kids love these. 

Our favorite is simply reheated for lunch the next day. 

Tips for Making Your Sausage Frittata Recipe

• Use Cooper® cheese. It offers extra flavor and ups the creamy factor. 
• Make sure your sausage and veggies are spread evenly throughout the pan before adding your cheese and eggs.
• We recommend a cast iron or oven-safe nonstick skillet. Stainless steel can work, but it often results in your eggs sticking to the pan if you don’t use enough oil. 
• Remember, your pan will be hot when it comes out of the oven. We like to wrap a towel around the handle to remind ourselves not to touch it 🙂
