One of my co-workers occasionally brings in frittatas for everyone in the company (first come first serve basis). I have never heard of frittatas before this, but I really enjoyed it after trying it for the first time. The dish looked easy to prepare, but it took a few trial and errors before I was able to make something edible.
Frittata is an egg-based Italian dish that is very similar to an omelet or quiche. This is my version of the frittata, which I simple call a baked omelet.
This recipe is for 6-10 servings. You can easily modify the quantity depending on how much you want to serve.
DISCLAIMER: I normally do not measure the ingredients that I use. Everything is eyeballed and guesstimated but I will try my best to provide you with some type of measurements!
Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- Shredded or grated parmesan cheese (or any other type of cheese that you like)
- Black pepper
- Salt
- Cilantro (you can also use parsley)
- Breakfast sausages (you can use any type of breakfast meat, such as bacon, ham, chicken, etc.)
- 1 white or red potato
Optional
- Mushroom
- Spinach
- Or anything else that you like to eat in an omelet
Steps:
1.) Preheat the oven to 275 degrees
2.) Peel and cut the potato in small bite size pieces and then boil
3.) Cook the sausages and then cut them into small bite size pieces
4.) Chop the cilantro
5.) Beat the eggs in a bowl and then mix in ½ teaspoon of black pepper and a pinch of salt
6.) Spread melted butter, oil, or Pam to a glass baking dish (I like using that, but you also use any non-stick baking pan)
7.) Add the potatoes and sausages to the glass baking dish and then pour the egg mixture on top
8.) Sprinkle on the chopped cilantro
9.) Put it in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the middle inside is cooked
10.) Carefully take it out of the oven and then sprinkle on as much cheese as you like. Put it back in the oven for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese melts.

This is a great dish for breakfast but it can also be served during lunch or dinner. Just add in other ingredients such as chicken or broccoli to turn it into a different meal.
Enjoy!! And let me know what crazy ingredients you’ve added in your Baked Omelet!
