Easily Make it Vegetarian

If you are hosting family or friends who are vegetarian, these individual sausage and spinach skillet frittatas are easily adaptable. Just omit the sausage and bacon. It’s that simple. Some other substitutions include:

• Mushrooms
• Chives
• Red, Orange, Green, or Yellow Bell Peppers
• Asparagus
• Sweet Onions
• Halved Grape or Cherry Tomatoes
• Chopped Basil
• Chopped Chives
• Zucchini

Don’t overload the frittata with vegetables though. Pick a couple of your favorites but don’t use all of them. Too many and the eggs won’t bind the mixture together.

Tips and Tricks for Making a Frittata

• Always put the mini skillets on a baking sheet. This will catch any spills if you overfill them. This makes them easier to transport to and from the oven.
• Whisk the eggs well so when the frittatas bake they are fluffy. If you really want fluffy eggs, strain them through a large mesh strainer. Trust me on this one.
• Chop the spinach or chiffonade it. Since these are individual servings you don’t want to bite into a whole spinach leaf.
• If making a vegetarian frittata, cube up the vegetables. You don’t want large pieces. Sauté the veggies first if you prefer.
• Don’t have the mini-skillets? No worries, put the entire mixture into a 9-inch skillet, preferably cast iron but at least oven safe and bake until the center is set. This will be longer than the recommended time for the mini skillets. Start with adding 10 or 15 mintues.

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb ground sausage crumbled and browned

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper
• 1/2 cup half and half

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 4 mini cast iron skillets (3.5 inches) with no-stick cooking spray. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
