Muffin Pan Pizza Frittatas

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• ½ pound Smithfield® Breakfast Sausage
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 12 eggs
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco®)
• Salt and pepper
• Olive oil cooking spray
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 3 tablespoons grated onion
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 cup crushed tomatoes
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• A small handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• Fresh basil leaves, torn

Step 1

Lightly heat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a pan over high heat, drizzle a bit of olive oil and cook the sausage, breaking it up as it browns, for about 5 to 7 minutes. Toss in the chopped peppers and cook until they soften, which should take another 5 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and let everything cool down a bit.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooked sausage and peppers. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil cooking spray, then pour the egg mixture evenly into the cups.

Step 3

Pop the muffin tin into the oven and bake for around 15 minutes. While that’s baking, warm the remaining olive oil in another skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion, and oregano, stirring for a couple of minutes until fragrant. Then stir in the tomatoes and let the sauce simmer until it thickens, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

When the frittatas are done baking, take them out and spoon some of the tomato sauce over each one. Sprinkle on some mozzarella cheese, then put them back in the oven for another 5 minutes so the cheese melts nicely. Finish off by garnishing with fresh parsley and basil. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.
