Sausage and Onion Frittata

I felt like having eggs for breakfast today but I didn't want just plain scrambled eggs - although I DO love plain scrambled eggs (made with a bit of cream and lots of butter) - so I searched through my refrigerator and found a couple of leftover dinner sausages, a small bit of onion, and asiago cheese.

A-HA! I can make a frittata.

A frittata is partially scrambled eggs, either plain or with additional items (such as leftover sausage and onion), and then finished off under the broiler.

Here's what I used:

6 large eggs (with three tablespoons half and half mixed in)
two left over dinner sausage
about 1/4 of an onion (diced)
teaspoon of dried Italian herbs
two tablespoons butter
1/4 cup grated asiago cheese

Heat through the leftover items you want in your frittata in about two tablespoons of butter (use an oven safe non-stick pan). When heated through, add in the egg and half and half mixture and the herbs.

Scramble just until the eggs start to firm up, scrape down the sides, cover the top with the grated cheese and place under the broiler for two or three minutes - you can judge whether the frittata has set when the sides have pulled away from the pan and the top is browned.

Let cool in the pan for a few minutes to completely set, then turn out onto a cutting board and slice as you would a pie or a pizza.
