Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 0.25 cups milk
• 0.5 pounds Italian sausage
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 small yellow onion
• 0.75 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cups parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Remove the casing from the Italian sausage and break it up into small pieces while cooking in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 6

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix it with the sautéed vegetables.

Step 7

Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly across the skillet, then pour the whisked egg mixture over the top, ensuring it covers everything evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese over the egg mixture.

Step 9

Cook the frittata on the stovetop over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, just until the edges begin to set.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before slicing into wedges and serving.
