Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound broccoli rabe, tough stem ends removed
3/4 pound hot Italian sausage, loose or in links
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
Salt and black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons roughly chopped rosemary
1 1/2 cups ricotta
3 ounces grated provolone (about 1 1/4 cup)
3 ounces grated Parmesan (about 3/4 cup)
4 ounces grated smoked mozzarella (about 1 1/2 cup)
10 eggs, lightly beaten and seasoned with salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add broccoli rabe and cook for 1 minute, just to wilt, then remove, rinse with cold water and drain. Roughly chop greens, then squeeze to remove excess water and set aside.
  • Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage (remove casings from links first) and cook, stirring and mashing, until sausage is in large, well-browned crumbled pieces, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove cooked sausage, blot on paper towels, and set aside.
  • Add olive oil to skillet. When oil is hot, add onion and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper, then add garlic and rosemary and cook for 1 minute more. Turn off heat and stir in chopped greens and reserved sausage. Let mixture cool in pan.
  • Spoon dabs of ricotta over greens mixture, then sprinkle evenly with provolone, Parmesan and mozzarella. Pour seasoned eggs over, tilting pan to distribute.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until top is golden and eggs are no longer runny at the center. (Use a skewer or paring knife to check; residual heat will continue to cook frittata as it cools.) Let cool at least 15 minutes, then cut into wedges.

The frittata will be easier to remove from the skillet if it sits for a few minutes-the top will deflate and the edges will pull away from the pan.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
3/4 cup grated cheddar, divided
Kosher salt, coarsely ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/2 pound fresh Spanish chorizo or hot Italian sausage links, casings removed
1 bunch broccoli rabe, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Whisk eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Mix in 1/2 cup cheddar; season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet, preferably castiron, over medium heat. Add onion and chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and chorizo is brown, 6-8 minutes. Add broccoli rabe; season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8-10 minutes longer.
  • Reduce heat to low and pour reserved egg mixture over vegetables. Cook, shaking pan occasionally, until edges are just set, 10-12 minutes. Top frittata with remaining 1/4 cup cheddar; broil until top is golden brown and center is set, about 4 minutes longer.
  • Cut frittata into wedges and serve warm or room temperature.
  • DO AHEAD: Frittata can be made 2 hours ahead. Let cool, then cover.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful sausage, and quality cheese will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage and broccoli rabe, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will help the ingredients cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Cook the broccoli rabe until it's tender-crisp: You don't want the broccoli rabe to be too soft or too crunchy. Aim for a tender-crisp texture.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help to evenly cook the frittata and give it a nice crust.
  • Don't overcook the frittata: The frittata should be cooked until it's just set in the center. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Sausage and broccoli rabe frittata is a delicious, easy-to-make dish that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its combination of savory sausage, tender-crisp broccoli rabe, and melted cheese, this frittata is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
