Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • cup milk 1%, 2%, or whole milk
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • cups shredded Manchego or Iberico cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ white or yellow onion minced
  • 1 large sweet pepper red, orange, or yellow, seeded and diced
  • 1 medium sweet potato peeled and shredded
  • ½ lb bulk sweet Italian sausage pork or chicken

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Egg Mixture : In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, dried rosemary, and dried thyme until well combined. Stir in the shredded Manchego or Iberico cheese and set aside.
  • Cook the Sausage : In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sweet Italian sausage, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula. Cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Once done, remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside, leaving any rendered fat in the pan.
  • Sauté the Vegetables : Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet, then add the minced onion and diced sweet pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the peppers begin to soften. Add the shredded sweet potato to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato softens slightly.
  • Combine and Pour the Frittata Mixture : Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, spreading it evenly among the vegetables. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables, gently stirring to ensure an even distribution.
  • Cook on the Stovetop : Reduce the heat to low and cook the frittata for about 5 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
  • Bake in the Oven : Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and the top is lightly golden.
  • Serve : Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
