POTATO, SAUSAGE AND BROCCOLI FRITTATA



Potato, Sausage and Broccoli Frittata image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
Olive oil, as needed
1 pound loose breakfast sausage
1 Spanish onion, finely diced
1 large russet potato, diced
1 head broccoli, stem removed, cut into small florets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
10 large eggs
1/2 bunch fresh dill, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch casserole pan with cooking spray.
  • Set a medium pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon or spatula, until cooked through and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove to a bowl and set aside. Add the onion to the pan and saute until translucent and the browned bits of sausage in the pan have been picked up by the onion, about 5 minutes -- this will add lots of flavor! Once the onions are cooked, add the potatoes. Cook until they are tender and just beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. If necessary, add more olive oil so the potatoes don't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove the potatoes and onions to the bowl of sausage. Coat the pan with a bit of olive oil and add the broccoli. Saute until just tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the sausage bowl.
  • Add the milk, cream, eggs and some salt and pepper to a separate medium bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Transfer the sausage and vegetable mixture to the prepared casserole pan. Toss and distribute evenly on the bottom of the pan. Gently pour the egg mixture over the top. Bake until the frittata is puffed and beginning to brown and the egg is set in the middle, about 30 minutes. Allow to set for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with the dill and serve. The frittata is delicious hot out of the oven, room temperature or even cold!

BROCCOLI AND SAUSAGE CASSEROLE



Broccoli and sausage casserole image

Enjoy this fabulous go-to entrée for brunch, lunch, or dinner. It's like a savory, rich-and-crusty bread pudding. Vary the flavors here with different types of sausage-try spicy Italian, smoked, and even crumbled breakfast sausage-or use cauliflower or Romanesco florets instead of broccoli. You might also add a sprinkling of fresh herbs with each layer of cheese, if desired. Chopped fresh parsley or sage would be delicious. Reheat leftover servings, covered with foil, in a 350°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes for a crisp-meets-custardy texture just like it came from the oven the first time around. Or, reheat portions in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes on high for a soft pudding-like consistency. You can prepare this through Step 4, but do not bake. Cover and refrigerate until an hour before you plan to serve it. Bring it to room temperature while the oven preheats and then bake as directed.

Provided by James Briscione

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound mild Italian sausage, casing removed
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
12 ounces shredded whole milk mozzarella (about 3 cups)
8 ounces shredded fontina cheese (about 2 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound meze rigatoni
12 ounces broccoli, trimmed and cut into small florets (from 1 medium bunch)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon into small pieces, until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a medium bowl, then reduce the heat to medium.
  • Add 3 more tablespoons of the butter and the garlic to the same pot. Cook until the butter has melted and the garlic is softened slightly, about 1 minute. Whisk in the flour and cook until it's bubbling all over and no longer raw, about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk, then bring to a steady simmer. Simmer until it has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the mozzarella and fontina until smooth. Season with 1 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few good grinds of pepper. Keep warm over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, season the pot of boiling water generously with salt (it should taste like the ocean). Add the pasta and cook until al dente, adding the broccoli florets during the last 4 minutes of cooking, about 8 minutes total.
  • Use a spider to transfer the pasta and broccoli into the cheese sauce and stir until evenly coated. Stir in the sausage. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Stir in the breadcrumbs and parsley then sprinkle evenly over the pasta. Top with the Parmesan. Bake until the sauce is bubbling around the sides and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli florets for the best flavor and texture. If you only have frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw and drain it thoroughly before using.
  • Brown the sausage thoroughly before adding it to the casserole. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent the casserole from being greasy.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the casserole for a more complex flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or thyme, to the casserole for extra flavor.
  • Serve the casserole hot out of the oven with a side of toast or fruit.

Conclusion:

This broccoli sausage breakfast bake is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy mornings. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage and broccoli. The casserole is packed with protein and vegetables, and it is sure to keep you full and satisfied all morning long.
