Ingredients
Instructions
- In a pan, sauté crumbled Owens hot sausage, chopped onion, and chopped garlic until the sausage is just done.
- Heat an ovenproof skillet and add olive oil, continuing to heat until the oil is hot.
- In a bowl, combine the sausage mixture, lightly beaten eggs, cooked spaghetti, and half of the cheese; mix thoroughly.
- Add the meat mixture to the skillet and cook until the bottom is browned and the egg has almost set.
- Arrange sliced green stuffed and black pitted olives in an attractive pattern on top of the frittata.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the frittata and broil in the oven until the top is golden and crusty.
- Garnish with sliced orange and melon before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting the Owens hot sausage with Italian sausage or turkey sausage. You can also mix in some fresh herbs like basil or parsley. If you don't have green stuffed olives, you can use black olives or even sun-dried tomatoes for a different taste. Ensure the spaghetti is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the frittata.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature, garnished with sliced orange and melon for a refreshing touch. It pairs beautifully with a simple side salad or toasted bread. For a hearty breakfast or brunch, consider serving with fresh fruit or even a side of Easy Turkey Oven Meatballs for added protein.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover frittata in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place slices in a skillet over low heat until warmed through, or microwave for 30-60 seconds. Avoid reheating too long to prevent drying out the dish.
