A colorful frittata seasoned with fresh dill and packed with eggs, breakfast sausage, roasted red peppers, spinach, tomatoes and feta cheese.
Italian in origin, a frittata combines eggs with whatever ingredients you happen to have on hand be it meat, vegetables, herbs or a combination of all three.
I sound like I know what I’m talking about, don’t I? Thanks to the hundreds of frittatas sprawled across the web that I’ve drooled over.
It isn’t from experience because I never made one before. Ever. What an embarrassment for my Italian ancestry.
I’m completely prepared to make up for lost time. Frittatas are the bomb! Even cold from the fridge. At midnight.

Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large skillet cook the sausage over medium heat. Remove to a paper towel lined plate.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Drain off the grease; add a tablespoon of oil and saute onion and red pepper over medium-low heat 3-4 minutes, seasoning well with salt and pepper.
- While the onion is cooking whisk the eggs, milk and a very generous pinch or two of salt together until fluffy. Season with pepper and whisk in the dill and onions/pepper.
- Grease a 10" frying pan or line with parchment and spray lightly with nonstick spray. Pour the eggs in the pan and place the sausage rounds all over followed by the spinach. Sprinkle the feta and tomatoes over the top.
- Bake about 20 minutes until firm in the center. Cut into wedges and serve.
Whenever I think I’m going to make a frittata, I make a quiche instead. I cannot say no to a good, thick, buttery crust! This looks great though, I’m sure someday I’ll ditch the crust and make a true frittata :)
Perfect for Mother’s Day…thanks for sharing!!!

I love Greek flavors (sorry, Italy) and make a Greek Salad at least 4 days a week! So this makes me so happy – and I love it for dinner!
I can’t believe you’ve never had a frittata! It really is about time because they are so versatile and easy to throw together and DELICIOUS! Love the mix-ins in this. MEditerranean flavors ALWAYS work for me!
