Omelette (FRITTATA ) with Sausage meat, Provola Cheese and peas Ingredients (Serves 4):
6 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk or cream (for a creamier texture)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound sausage meat (bulk sausage or remove casing from sausages)
1/2 cup provola cheese, cubed (you can substitute with mozzarella or fontina cheese)
1/2 cup frozen peas (or fresh peas if available)
1 small onion, finely chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh herbs (optional, like parsley or basil, chopped)
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk (or cream). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cut the provola cheese into small cubes and set aside.
If using frozen peas, blanch them in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Sausage:
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage meat and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sausage is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
3. Assemble the Frittata:
Add the peas to the skillet and stir to combine with the sausage and onions. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and pea mixture. Gently stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Sprinkle the provola cheese cubes evenly over the top of the frittata.
4. Cook the Frittata:
Cook the frittata on the stovetop over low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges start to set but the center is still slightly runny.
Preheat the broiler on your oven to high. Place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the top is golden brown and the frittata is fully set.
5. Serve:
Remove the frittata from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, then slice into wedges and serve.
💡 Tips:
Cheese Variety: You can swap provola cheese with other types like mozzarella, fontina, or even sharp cheddar for different flavors.
Add Vegetables: If you like, you can add other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms for extra texture and flavor.
Serve Warm or Cold: This frittata can be served warm right from the pan or cooled to room temperature, making it perfect for picnics or packed lunches.
