Minced Lamb and Veggie Sausage Frittata
An exquisite blend of savory minced lamb and robust veggie sausages, this frittata combines the best of rustic flavors with time-honored Italian techniques. Perfectly baked to achieve a golden, fluffy texture with vibrant notes from seasonal vegetables, this dish transforms a humble frittata into a gourmet experience.
Ingredients
200 grams ground lamb (minced lamb) - Preferably organic for richer flavor- 2 links veggie sausage - Choose your favorite brand or homemade variety
1 medium onion - finely chopped
1 cup red pepper (red capsicum) - mixed colors, diced
8 large eggs - free-range for best results- ½ cup whole milk - can substitute with plant-based milk
½ cup feta cheese - crumbled
2 tablespoons olive oil - extra virgin
1 pinch salt - to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper - to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced lamb and cook until browned, around 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the onions and bell peppers until they soften and start to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Add the veggie sausage, crumbled, to the mixture.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and milk together. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the cooked minced lamb.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and sausages in the skillet. Allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the edges begin to set.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta over the top of the frittata. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a heartier texture, mix in some chopped spinach with the vegetables. If you prefer a dairy-free version, omit the feta cheese and use almond milk instead.
