Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces fennel sausage
• 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
• 1 medium (diced) red bell pepper
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 small (thinly sliced) fennel bulb
• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup (grated) parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the fennel sausage to the skillet, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and fennel bulb. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the vegetables, distributing them evenly. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables, gently stirring to evenly combine everything.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, golden, and set in the center.

Step 9

Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
