Caramelised Onion and Sausage Frittata
Caramelised Onion & Sausage Frittata using leftover lam sausages is a great way to utilize your leftovers and reduce waste. Plus it saves on your food bill!
Ingredients
- 10 eggs
- 2 tablespoons cooking fat (ghee, coconut oil, olive oil)
- 2 red onions
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 5 leftover cooked lamb sausages
- 1 cup finely sliced greens (try spinach, kale, silverbeet and herbs like basil)
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped herbs (try basil, chives and flat leaf parsley)
- Salt and pepper
- Grated parmesan to sprinkle on top (optional)
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C fan forced.
- Slice the onion into 8 wedges. (Cut in half, then each half into quarters then eights).
- Coat with a little olive oil, sprinkle with thyme and season with salt and pepper and roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes until nicely softened and caramelising in sections.
- Whisk the eggs until well combined, add the extra chopped herbs, season with salt and pepper and whisk again.
- In an oven-proof frypan, heat a little cooking fat, add the sausage and greens and cook until warmed through. Turn it down to low and add the red onions.
- Pour the egg mixture over the warmed sausage and vegetable mix, ensuring its evenly spread over the pan. Add the parmesan if using.
- Allow to sit for a few minutes to gently begin cooking the bottom, then pop into the oven to finish cooking for around 15-20 minutes or until cooked.
- Cut into wedges and enjoy!
Lovely with a relish for a quick breakfast or served with salad or added steamed vegetables for lunch or a light dinner.
