Italian Sausage Frittata

← breakfast
From the kitchen of Alicia Wingren

1 lb sweet Italian sausage (I like Hempler’s)
2-3 cloves of garlic
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (I like Tuscan Sunset)
4 oz sautéed to brown mushrooms
1.5 onions sautéed to brown
1 cup Sartori Bellavitano cheese, grated
1 cup Manchego cheese, grated
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup half n half or heavy whipping cream

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large skillet, cook the sausage nearly until no longer pink; add garlic and cook until just brown and sausage is entirely cooked. Add sautéed mushrooms & onions, and mix well.
Allow this mixture to cool (I transferred it to the pan I was baking it in)

Mix egg, half n half, whisk well to combine. Add Italian seasoning and cheeses. If it's still very warm, add sausage mixture a little bit at a time to temper stirring after each addition (so you don’t cook the egg when you mix it) , pour into 9” cake pan or pie plate.

bake for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If desired, switch to broil to brown the top for approximately 1-2 minutes but WATCH CLOSELY!

Serve with black olives.
