Tuscan Frittata

I actually got this recipe from The William Sonoma catelog. Great source for wonderful recipes. Recipe follows:

10 eggs
1/2 cup pecorino romano cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. olive oil
8 oz. mild Italian sausage, casings removed
1 small yellow onion, cut into 1/4 slices
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/4 slices
1 cup tomato sauce
6 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
6-8 basil leaves, thinly sliced

Directions:

Preheat broiler. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, pecorino romano, salt and pepper.In a large saute pan warm 1 Tbs. of oil. Cook sausage 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a separate bowl. Wipe out pan. In same pan over medium high heat, warm 1 Tbs. oil. Cook onion and bell pepper 3-4 minutes. Add sausage to the pan; pour in egg mixture. Cook, using spatula to lift cooked edges and allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath, 2-3 minutes; then cook 4-6 minutes more.

In a shallow pan over low heat, warm 1 tsp. oil. Place shallow pan upside down on top of deep pan; flip the frittata into a shallow pan. Or to avoid this step flip frittata onto a plate and return to original pan , but before add and warm 1 tsp. oil. Cook covered 2-3 minutes. Uncover pan. Pour tomato sauce onto the center of the frittata; gently spread to edges. Arrange mozzarella on top. Broil frittata 3-5minutes. Slide frittata onto serving plate; sprinkle with basil. Serves 8-10.


Enjoy!!!
