Baked Provolone and Sausage Frittata image

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Unsalted butter, for the baking dish
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1/2 pound mild turkey sausage, casings removed
8 large eggs
1/3 cup whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and diced
3 cups (8 ounces) shredded provolone cheese
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh ﬂat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly butter an 8-inch-square glass baking dish.
Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt until smooth, about 20 seconds. Add the bell pepper, 2 cups of the cheese, and 1/4 cup parsley. Stir in the onion mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until set and golden brown.
Slide the frittata onto a serving platter. Using a serrated knife, cut the frittata into wedges and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley before serving.
Cook's Note
To make individual servings, divide the batter among 4 buttered 8-ounce ramekins. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until set and golden brown.
