• 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.


Add shallots and red bell pepper; cook 1 minute. Add sausage; cook 6 minutes or until sausage is cooked through and shallots and pepper are tender, stirring frequently.


Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat eggs with half and half.


Add potatoes, salt and pepper; mix well.


Stir egg mixture into cooked sausage mixture in skillet, combining well.


Cook 8 minutes or until bottom of frittata is golden brown, lifting edges with a spatula to allow uncooked eggs to flow to bottom of frittata.


After the bottom has browned and the center is still wet, top with cheese and place skillet under the broiler or in a hot oven to finish cooking. If the skillet is not oven-proof, wrap the handle in foil.


Cut into wedges.
