Ingredients
8 large eggs, beaten
16 ounces spicy sausage (nitrate-free), browned and crumbled
2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
¼ cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the spicy sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon, until browned throughout, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if desired.
Add the chopped spinach to the pan with the sausage and sauté for 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until the spinach begins to wilt.
Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the sausage and spinach mixture, without stirring. Let the eggs cook undisturbed over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and the outer portions start to set.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the frittata.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, until the eggs are completely set and the center no longer jiggles when gently shaken.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
Comments
Every ingredient is stocked at any Charlotte grocer—eggs, bulk sausage, bagged fresh spinach, and block cheddar run roughly $12–14 for four servings, making this under $3.50 per plate. The stated 25 minutes is honest if you use pre-shredded cheese and pre-cooked sausage; from-scratch sausage browning adds 10 minutes. This works well for a weeknight family dinner and reheats decently in a low oven, though the frittata firms up slightly; the main friction is that it demands oven attention during cooking and isn't truly hands-off.
