How to Make Sausage And Pepper Frittata

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (optional, for final browning).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon water.
  3. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color). Sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  6. Crumble 1 cup cooked sausage (Italian sausage recommended) into the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes.
  7. Evenly distribute the sausage and pepper mixture in the pan.
  8. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and sausage.
  9. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded Muenster cheese evenly over the eggs. Gently pat down with a wooden spoon to submerge cheese in egg mixture.
  10. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the middle and the edges are lightly browned.
  11. (Optional) For a browned top, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven for the last 5-10 minutes of cooking time.
  12. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm and enjoy!
