Instructions
-
Preheat oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13‑inch baking dish.
-
Cook sausage & vegetables: Heat a skillet over medium. Add sausage, onion, mushrooms, and bell pepper. Cook until sausage is browned and vegetables are softened.
-
Add tomatoes & greens: Remove from heat, stir in tomatoes and spinach or kale. Cover for 1 minute to wilt.
-
Prepare egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
-
Assemble frittata: Spread the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture evenly in baking dish. Add roasted squash or sweet potatoes on top, then pour egg mixture over.
-
Top with cheese: Sprinkle cheese evenly on top if using.
-
Bake: Bake uncovered 25–30 minutes, until set and center no longer jiggles.
-
Serve: Cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with avocado, salsa, or herbs.
Notes
Cook vegetables thoroughly to remove excess moisture. Use roasted or pre-cooked squash to save time. Whisk eggs well for fluffy texture. Let rest to slice cleanly. Refrigerate leftovers; reheat gently.
