Enjoy this hearty Cajun Sausage Frittata for breakfast, brunch or dinner. A tasty egg dish that has an edge with cajun spices.
I enjoy breakfast for dinner and the other night I had a pound of sweet italian sausage staring me in the face. I opened the fridge and saw 2 dozen eggs and decided a frittata would be the perfect option.
The Cajun Sausage Frittata is layered and baked to a golden brown. The sausage is browned and added to a 9 x 13 pan. Saute shallots and roasted red pepper and layer that in the pan next, then top with cheese. Mix together the eggs and spices, pour over the layers and it’s ready to bake.
If you are making this for breakfast or brunch serve it with fresh fruit and if you are serving it for dinner add a salad to the menu. Although, this is perfect served on its own.
