We're all about simple recipes that bring folks together at breakfast table. Bacon & eggs belong together.
Ingredients
- 1 small white onion, sliced thin
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red tomato - chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced fine
- 2 slices sandwich bread, cut or torn into small pieces
- 2 links North Country Smokehouse certified humane, Chorizo with Brandy sausage - diced
- 8 eggs
- 4 oz. diced cheese (we used Jack but any firm cheese would work)
- 1/3 C olive oil, divided
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.
- In a large cast-iron pan, heat ½ of the olive oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the red, green, tomato, and jalapeno peppers and a pinch of salt. Cook 2 minutes, then add the diced North Country Smokehouse sausage.
- Cook together until the vegetables are softened and the diced sausage starts to colour lightly on the edges. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a medium bowl until well beaten and uniform in color. Add the bread and diced cheese.
- Once the vegetable mixture has cooled slightly, add it all to the eggs and stir to combine.
- Wipe out the cast iron pan and add the second ½ of the oil. Heat over medium heat, then add the contents of the bowl and spread into an even layer. Cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes, until the edges of the frittata, pull away slightly from the pan.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the center is set. Allow to cool an additional 10-15 minutes before removing from the pan intact, or slicing and serving. Serve with fruit, hot coffee, a simple green salad.
