Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • Ground sausage (1 pound, cooked and crumbled)
  • Frozen hashbrowns (12 ounces, diced, thawed, and heated)
  • Taco seasoning (1 tablespoon)
  • Large eggs (10, beaten)
  • Mexican cheese (¼ cup shredded, plus extra for topping)
  • Grape tomatoes (½ cup, chopped)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare the Dish:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Lightly grease a quiche pan or pie dish with cooking spray.

2. Cook the Sausage:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage until browned, breaking it into crumbles.
  • Drain excess grease and set the sausage aside.

3. Sauté the Hashbrowns:

  • In the same skillet, cook the thawed hashbrowns for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
  • Add a small amount of oil if needed to prevent sticking.
  • Remove from heat and pat away excess grease with a paper towel.

4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.
  • Add the cooked sausage, hashbrowns, taco seasoning, ¼ cup shredded cheese, and chopped grape tomatoes.
  • Stir gently until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

5. Assemble the Frittata:

  • Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish.
  • Use a fork to arrange the ingredients evenly for a uniform presentation.
  • Sprinkle additional cheese over the top for a golden, melty finish.

6. Bake the Frittata:

  • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 22–26 minutes.
  • Check for doneness by ensuring the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.

7. Rest and Serve:

  • Let the frittata rest for 10 minutes to allow it to firm up before slicing.
  • Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Assemble the frittata the night before and bake fresh in the morning.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat individual slices in the microwave or oven for the best texture.
