Hash Brown Frittata with Sausage and Cheese
and fruit salad
Smarts #1: If your frozen hash browns are unseasoned, be sure to add some additional salt and pepper as the hash browns cook.
Smarts #2: Dicing the cheese (instead of grating) gives you a pocket of melty cheese in every bite. Feel free to grate it (or buy pre-shredded) though if it will save you time.

Make
- Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
- Heat a 10.5” to 12” (26 cm to 30 cm) oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and then spinach with some salt. Saute until spinach is wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Set spinach aside.
- Return pan to heat and add sausage. Saute until sausage is golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
- To sausage, add hash browns. Saute for 5 to 7 minutes until hash browns are broken up and defrosted. If using unseasoned hash browns, be sure to season them at this point with some salt and pepper.
- Pour eggs over sausage and hash browns and add in cheese and spinach. Stir to combine ingredients.
- Bake frittata for 18 to 25 minutes. (Frittata is done when eggs are set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.)
- While frittata bakes, chop and combine fruit for fruit salad.
- Slice frittata and serve with fruit on the side. Enjoy!

I doubled this one for a group of people. If I were to do that again, I’ll make 2 separate frittatas because it took an hour to bake in the Dutch oven. It’s really good though! I’ll definitely make it again.
0 HelpfulThis frittata was way more filling than expected, so I had way too much leftover and had to freeze it...but now I'm wondering if it will unfreeze well. I guess we'll see! But in the future, I'd definitely half what I'm going for - so if I want 4 portions, I'd go with the 2 portion recipe.
0 HelpfulWe used Impossible sausage in a tube - yum! As a family of three, our leftovers will take care of two school-day breakfasts. Don’t hold back on fresh pepper with unseasoned hash browns.
0 HelpfulEggs stuck to the pan, so cleaning after dinner ended up being kind of a pain. Didn’t have a lot of berries, so mixed what we had with some vanilla yogurt and that worked out well. Whole family enjoyed this one.
0 HelpfulI really enjoyed this frittata and thought is was more filling than other ones I’ve made. Will definitely make it again.
