Spinach and Hot Italian Sausage Frittata ::: Crustless Quiche

Frittata is an egg-based Italian dish similar to an omelette or crustless quiche, enriched with additional ingredients such as meats, cheeses, vegetables or pasta. Frittata is a great brunch food and very easy to make.

I made this particular frittata by browning 1/2 of a large white onion and 1 large red potato (finely diced) in a cast iron pan. Then I added chunks of hot Italian sausage until browned. And then 1/2 bag of fresh spinach until wilted. At this point, I spread the ingredients evenly across the bottom of the pan and poured the egg mixture on top. To make the egg mixture I beat 6 eggs with 1/4 cup of milk, salt and pepper to taste and about 1/4 cup feta cheese.

After a couple minutes on the stove, I transferred the frittata to the oven preheated to 375 degrees. I let it cook for an additional 10 minutes and then removed to allow for the pan to cool a bit before cutting into wedges. I flipped the wedge upside down to serve on a plate (to show the nicely browned side) with a dollop of cream cheese and fresh cut green onions.
