How to Make Italian Sausage Frittata

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brown 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy) in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Evenly spread the cooked sausage in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 8 oz sliced mushrooms and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms release their liquid and it's mostly absorbed (about 5-7 minutes). You can add 1-2 tablespoons of white wine at this stage for extra flavor.
  5. Spread the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the sausage in the baking dish.
  6. Layer 5 oz fresh swiss chard (roughly chopped) and 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese over the mushrooms.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard until light and frothy.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 50-60 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown on top.
  10. Remove from the oven, loosely cover with foil, and let stand for 15-18 minutes before slicing.
  11. Divide and cut into serving sizes. Garnish with chopped green onions or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
