This Sausage, Peppers and Onions Frittata is hearty and delicious and perfect for brunch or dinner! It’s your favorite Italian sandwich, frittata style!
I thought we may need a little something to go along with those rye scones from Monday. See?? I’m always thinking of you guys!
And take it from me, this Sausage, Peppers and Onions Frittata is just the ticket. I mean who doesn’t love that classic Italian sandwich? It’s one of my favorites, so logically it needed to be made into a frittata to be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Ya gotta love the awesomeness of eggs. They’re so incredibly versatile don’t ya think? Now if you tried to eat a sausage, peppers and onions sandwich for breakfast people may look at you a little funny. But add some eggs to those ingredients and call it a frittata and everybody wants in.
If you’ve never heard of or tried a frittata, it’s an egg-based Italian dish similar to a crustless quiche or an omelette. You’re not only going to love the taste, but I guarantee you’re going to love how easy it is to whip up. You only need a handful of ingredients, a 10 inch oven-safe skillet, and a medium bowl. You start the cooking process on your stove and then transfer the skillet to your oven to finish it off.
This frittata is perfect for any meal of the day. Add some scones, toast and coffee and enjoy for breakfast, or a salad, crusty bread and a glass of wine for lunch or dinner. Enjoy folks!

I’m completely with you on eggs being AMAZING with their versatility Mary Ann!! My bf and I have a running goal of doing an ‘egg a week’ thing where we come up with something completely new to do with them. Aren’t they just the most simply beautiful thing? Loving the flavors here…I’m a sucker for savory breakfast foods any time of day :-D
Me too Lindsay! They’re cheap and can always be whipped up into something spectacular! Have a great weekend!
This looks delicious MayAnn, I love frittatas because you can pretty much add anything you want. My niece in Germany , who is a light designer, really liked your blog.
