Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
6 ounces sweet or spicy sausage links, casings removed
1 cup shredded hash browns, thawed
6 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
3 tablespoons cottage cheese

1/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
Juice of 1 lime

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add the hash browns and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden in spots, about 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the eggs to a medium bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Whisk to combine, and then stir in the Cheddar and cottage cheese.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir the sausage and green chiles into the skillet to combine.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until the mixture is thick, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer to the oven and cook until set, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro and lime juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your frittata a more complex flavor. Some good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepper Jack, and Parmesan.
  • Don't overcook the frittata. It should be cooked until the eggs are just set, but still slightly runny in the center. This will give it a creamy, tender texture.
  • Serve the frittata with your favorite toppings. Some good options include salsa, sour cream, avocado, and hot sauce.
  • Make sure to preheat your oven before you start cooking. This will help the frittata cook evenly.
  • Use a nonstick skillet to cook the frittata. This will prevent it from sticking and make it easier to flip.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the frittata halfway through cooking. This will help it cook evenly on both sides.
  • Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Chili cheese rice frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner recipe. It's packed with flavor and protein, and it's a great way to use up leftover rice. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect frittata every time.
