S،pping at my local D&W Fresh Market makes ،sting so easy as I can get fresh, quality ingredients at a great price. Recently I’ve really enjoyed using their Fresh & Finest pre-cut options to save time! Their fresh ،uce and other ingredients makes this Easy Breakfast Frittata a no-،iner for brunch!

Ingredients

• Butter: Helps to caramelize the onion and bell peppers, while adding some flavor! You could also subs،ute for olive oil.
• Onion: I use a yellow onion as they are a little bit sweeter, so they caramelize beautifully. You can get them pre-sliced from D&W Fresh Market!
• Bell peppers: Use an ،ortment of red, orange, and yellow bell peppers to make your finished frittata have wonderful pops of color.
• Sausage: I use a breakfast sausage, made from pork or turkey usually. But use a ،ier sausage if you’d like!
• Our Family Eggs: This frittata uses 8 large eggs, which are a fantastic source of protein and loaded with many other nutrients.
• Milk: Low-، or w،le milk helps to make the eggs fluffier.
• Cheese: I like to use a mild cheddar, but you could also use feta cheese or parmesan.

How to Make an Easy Breakfast Frittata

S، your easy breakfast frittata by thinly slicing your onion and bell peppers, if you didn’t buy them pre-sliced.

Then heat a s،et over medium heat and melt the ،er. Cast-iron s،ets work great, but as long as it’s an oven safe pan, you’re good to go!

Add your slices of onion and bell pepper to the ،t pan.

Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then sauté until onions are caramelized. Remove from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add your breakfast sausage and c،ble while it browns. Once fully cooked, add the onion and peppers back in.

While sausage is browning, whisk your eggs with a bit of milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

Pour the eggs on top and stir a couple times to incorporate all of the ingredients.

Sprinkle over the top with the shredded cheddar cheese, then bake in the oven at 400 until eggs are set.

Once fully cooked, garnish with fresh herbs like c،es or parsley, serve, and enjoy your Easy Breakfast Frittata!

Easy Subs،utions

• Add some greens. Spinach or kale are great greens to cook into a frittata.
• Mix up the veggies. Sliced mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, and many other vegetables taste great in a frittata.
• Swap the protein. Use c،bled bacon, turkey sausage, or no meat at all!
