Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 12 ounces frozen diced hash browns
- 10 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (plus extra for topping)
- 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, chopped
Optional Add-ins:
- Diced bell peppers
- Chopped spinach
- Sautéed onions
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a quiche pan or pie dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Sausage:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground sausage. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula.
- Drain any excess grease using a paper towel. Remove the sausage from the heat.
- Add Hash Browns:
- In the same skillet, add the frozen hash browns. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through, adding a little oil if needed to prevent sticking.
- Stir the cooked sausage back into the skillet with the hash browns and mix well.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
- Stir in the sausage and hash brown mixture, taco seasoning, 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, and chopped grape tomatoes. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the Frittata:
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared quiche or pie dish.
- Use a fork to gently arrange the ingredients evenly in the dish.
- Sprinkle an additional 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on top for a golden finish.
- Bake the Frittata:
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 22-26 minutes. The eggs should be fully set but still moist.
- Check the frittata at the 22-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Let the frittata rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and pair with a fresh salad or fruit for a complete meal.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, replace the sausage with plant-based crumbles or additional vegetables.
- Fresh potatoes can be used instead of frozen hash browns. Dice them into small cubes and cook until tender before adding.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- Reheat slices in the oven or microwave for a quick and easy meal.
