How to Make Sausage And Pepper Frittata

In a medium nonstick ovenproof skillet (10-inch), cook 1 lb Italian sausage and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes over medium heat, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned (7-10 minutes).
Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside in a medium bowl.
Add 1 medium bell pepper (any color), chopped, and 1/2 medium onion, chopped, to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 7 minutes).
Stir in the cooked sausage and 1 tablespoon butter.
Preheat your broiler.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sausage and vegetables.
Cook over medium-low heat, gently scrambling the edges, until the eggs are almost set but still slightly wet on top (about 5-7 minutes).
Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
Broil for 3-5 minutes, keeping a close eye, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the eggs are fully cooked in the center. Leave the oven door slightly ajar during broiling.
