Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground pork sausage
Vegetables and Herbs:
- 1/2 small onion, diced
- 1 medium to large sweet potato, diced and roasted
- 3 ounces (85 grams) fresh spinach, chopped
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 8 eggs
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) canned coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) hot sauce or buffalo sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a moderate 350°F, creating an ideal environment for the frittata to gently cook and develop rich flavors.
- Craft the egg foundation by vigorously whisking together eggs, coconut milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and hot sauce until the mixture achieves a smooth, uniform consistency with no visible lumps.
- Activate a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and introduce ground sausage with diced onions, methodically crumbling the meat as it sizzles and transforms into a golden-brown delicacy.
- As the sausage reaches perfect doneness, incorporate roasted sweet potatoes and fresh spinach, allowing the ingredients to meld and create a harmonious base layer.
- Elegantly cascade the prepared egg mixture across the sausage and vegetable landscape, ensuring an even distribution that promises consistent texture in every slice.
- Carefully slide the skillet into the preheated oven, allowing the frittata to bake for 20-25 minutes until the eggs set completely and develop a delicate, slightly puffy appearance.
- Once removed from the oven, permit the frittata to rest and stabilize for 5-10 minutes, which helps solidify the structure and makes slicing more precise and clean.
Notes
- Customize the protein by swapping ground sausage with turkey sausage, chicken sausage, or plant-based alternatives for dietary preferences.
- Roast sweet potatoes ahead of time for faster meal preparation and enhanced caramelized flavor development.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for even heat distribution and a crispy bottom that creates a delightful textural contrast in the frittata.
- Enhance nutrition by experimenting with additional vegetables like bell peppers, kale, or mushrooms for extra flavor and micronutrient boost.
