Sausage and Mushroom Frittata Ingredients

Like an omelet, this breakfast frittata is super easy to customize. This is what I added in, but feel free to switch things up and add all of your favorite mix-ins! (Measurements are in the recipe card below.)

  • Sausage : Ground breakfast sausage cooks down and acts as the main protein in the dish.
  • Mushrooms: Cut into slices and cook up in the skillet to add earthy, meaty goodness to the breakfast frittata.
  • Spinach: Start your day off with some delicious greens!
  • Cherry Tomatoes: So the frittata has bits of juicy goodness throughout.
  • Green Onion: Always a favorite mix-in for a hint of flavor and texture.
  • Eggs: Whisked up smoothly and added over the mix-ins.
  • Heavy Cream: Mix with the eggs to make them thick, rich and creamy.
  • Mozzarella Cheese: Shredded to melt evenly in the sausage and mushroom frittata.
  • Salt and Pepper: To taste!

How to Make a Frittata

This sausage and mushroom breakfast frittata comes together in 4 simple steps. It’s a great breakfast switch-up and is always so delicious! My family loves this all-in-one meal and it keeps everyone full and satisfied throughout the day.

  3. Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl combine eggs, heavy cream, cheese, salt and pepper. Then pour on top of the sausage and vegetables.
  4. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until top is golden brown and egg mixture is set.

Delicious Variations

  • Meat: Try adding your favorite ground meat. Beef or pork is best but chicken or turkey will also work as a leaner option.
  • Cheese: Try spicy pepper jack cheese or something more mellow like Swiss or cheddar to switch up the flavor!
  • Vegetables: Broccoli, bell peppers or cabbage add color, crunch, and flavor to your frittata.
  • Seasonings : Add a dash of paprika or Italian seasoning to your egg mixture!
