Baked Egg Frittata with Sausage, Feta and Sundried Tomatoes


So I am in love with The Pampered Chef stoneware. This has nothing to do with the fact that I just started as a consultant for The Pampered Chef (www.pamperedchef.biz/heathergiraud) and everything to do with the fact that I LOVE this stoneware for everything! I have no idea why it took me so long to get myself some! Everything that I cook on it turns out awesome--- evenly cooked and browned-- and the more I use it, the better it gets. Plus, I use them for sweet and savory and the stoneware doesn't retain any flavors or smells!

One of my favorite things to cook on my stoneware is an egg frittata. It's perfect for brunch and so easy to make! You just cannot go wrong with this dish. You can modify it to suit your tastes-- remove the feta and add a different type of cheese, add some sauteed onions, remove the sausage and add bacon or ham. It all works. Oh, and did I mention that it sure is impressive when it comes out of the oven :) Yum yum!


Baked Egg Frittata with Sausage, Feta and Sundried Tomatoes
Serves 4

300 gram Garlic Coil Sausage
1 Zucchini, diced
1 Onion, diced
2 Red or Yellow Bell Peppers, diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/4 cup Sundried Tomatoes, chopped
1/3 cup Feta, crumbled
1/ 3 cup Cilantro, chopped
Olive Oil for cooking veggies

12 Eggs, beaten
Optional- 1/4 cup of Kalamata Olive, pitted and chopped

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Drizzle olive oil into a large pan and heat over medium high heat. Add the garlic coil sausage and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Add the diced zucchini, onion, peppers and garlic and cooke for another 3-4 minutes until the veggies just start to soften. Remove from heat.

Pour the cooked veggies onto a large non-stick or greased baking tray and distribute evenly (I use the Pampered Chef Large Stoneware bar pan--- it is awesome for this!!). Sprinkle the sundried tomatoes, feta and cilantro on top. Pour the beaten eggs on top, and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the eggs are set.

Slice into 8 squares (2 squares per serving). Enjoy!!
