Barbara Beckos’s Frittata with Broccoli Rabe and Sausage
In Barbara’s words: “Easy and protein rich. Can be made ahead by one hour. Cover and serve warm with a green salad. Eight wedges are a good serving size for a brunch, lunch, or light dinner.”
12 eggs (large)
½ cup whole milk
½ cup grated cheddar plus ½ cup grated cheddar at
serving
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
½ medium sweet onion, chopped
½ pound sausage (remove casing), turkey sausage or
sweet Italian sausage
1 bunch of broccoli rabe, chopped coarsely
salt and pepper
Preheat broiler
1. Whisk eggs and milk in medium-sized bowl and add ½ cup grated cheddar. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. In cast iron skillet heat oil and butter, add chopped onions and sausage, and cook over medium heat until onions are softened and sausage is brown—about 6 to 7 minutes.
3. Add broccoli rabe to onion and sausage mixture and cook until broccoli is crisp-tender, about 8 minutes more.
4. Reduce heat to low and add egg mixture slowly over sausage and broccoli mixture. Cook for about 10 minutes more, occasionally shaking pan until edges start to set—8 to 9 minutes.
5. Add remaining ¼ cup cheddar to top of frittata and place under broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, until frittata is set and top is brown and cheese has melted.
Longely is an imaginary community, as are all its inhabitants.
Any resemblance to people either living or dead is pure
coincidence.
