Best Fontina Frittata With Italian Sausage Recipes

SAUSAGE AND RED PEPPER FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe, 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the pieces with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink in the middle and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage to a plate. Add the pepper and onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the rosemary and cook until just fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, cream, cheese, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper together in a large bowl until combined. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the sausage. Pour the egg mixture on top and gently stir to incorporate the fillings. Bake until the eggs are just set and no longer jiggly in the middle, 50 to 55 minutes.
• Let sit for 5 minutes before sliding the frittata out of the skillet onto a serving platter. Slice into wedges to serve.

ARUGULA AND FONTINA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Cook garlic in oil in a 10-inch well-seasoned cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 2 minutes. Discard garlic and add arugula, then cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until combined, then pour over arugula in skillet and cook, undisturbed, over moderate heat until almost set, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top and broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until eggs are just set and cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Brown sausage in sauce pan and drain.
• Spread evenly over bottom of 9 x 13 baking dish.
• Sauté mushrooms and garlic in butter until almost all liquid is absorbed (you can add a few dashes of white wine at this stage if you prefer.
• Spread mushrooms over sausage.
• Layer swiss chard and cheese over mushrooms.
• In bowl beat the eggs, milk and Dijon mustard and pour evenly over all.
• Place in oven on middle rack, bake uncovered for 1 hour, (or until middle is firm to touch).
• Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let stand 15-18 minutes. Divide and cut into serving sizes.
• Top with green onions or sour cream (or both) if you desire.

FRITTATA WITH ASPARAGUS, TOMATO, AND FONTINA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Whisk the eggs, cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend. Set aside. Heat the oil and butter in a 9 1/2-inch-diameter nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and saute until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the tomato and a pinch of salt and saute 2 minutes longer. Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus mixture and cook for a few minutes until the eggs start to set. Sprinkle with cheese. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the frittata is almost set but the top is still runny, about 2 minutes. Place the skillet under the broiler. Broil until the top is set and golden brown on top, about 5 minutes. Let the frittata stand 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from skillet and slide the frittata onto a plate.

FRITTATA WITH MUSTARD GREENS AND FONTINA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Heat oil in medium broilerproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add greens; stir until wilted and tender, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; stir 1 minute. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Pour eggs over greens; stir to blend. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover skillet; cook until frittata is almost set but top is still runny, about 2 minutes. Place skillet under broiler. Broil until top is set and cheese bubbles, about 1 minute. Cut around frittata to loosen. Slide out onto plate.

MINI ITALIAN FRITTATAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush a standard 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil, including the top of the pan.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large (12-inch) sauté pan. Add the leeks and sauté for 3 minutes, until tender. Add the prosciutto and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, breaking it up with a fork. Add the spinach, tossing with tongs, then cover the pan and cook for 3 minutes, tossing once while it cooks, until the spinach is all wilted. Off the heat, stir in the basil and lemon juice and set aside for 5 minutes. Divide the mixture with tongs among the 12 muffin cups, leaving any liquid behind. Sprinkle the Fontina evenly on top.
• In a 4-cup liquid measuring cup, beat the eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together with a fork. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling in each cup, filling the muffin cups to the top. Sprinkle each frittata with the Parmesan cheese.
• Bake the frittatas for 20 to 25 minutes, until puffed and lightly browned on top. If you insert a toothpick in the middle, they should feel firm. Cool for 5 minutes, remove with a small sharp knife onto a serving plate, and serve hot or warm.
