Fritattas are one of my favourite meals simply because they are so versatile, as long as you have some eggs handy and some veggies or meat you’re set to make a fritatta. Don’t be intimidated by the Italian name, a fritatta is really just an oven-baked omelette and we all love our omelettes right?
Knowing the secret to a solid fritatta recipe is super useful; it can be served for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or snacks…hot or cold – it just works!
If you have the ingredients for your favourite omelettes and a pan, you’re set to get going on a fritatta. Shelled eggs work well for fritattas, or a liquid egg of your choice. For now let’s see my Healthy Sausage Fritatta recipe where I share the secrets to a good fritatta.
Healthy Sausage Fritatta Recipe
INGREDIENTS
- 1 carton (250ml) Naturegg Omega Plus Liquid Eggs
- 1-2 chicken sausage, sliced thinly
- 2-4 stalks of asparagus, cut into 1 inch pieces
- Handfull of cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1/2 onion, diced or sliced thinly
- Handfull of mushrooms, diced or sliced thinly
- 1 cup of baby spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup of Feta cheese
- Tablespoon of oil or butter
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Sauté the sausage and veggies in the pan, if the sausage isn’t pre-cooked, ensure you cook it first. Cook the veggies in oil or butter over medium/high heat. Begin with the harder veggies first and add in the spinach and tomatoes towards the end.
Spread the veggies on the bottom of the pan and sprinkle the feta cheese on top.
Give the Naturegg Omega Plus Liquid Eggs a good shake and gently pour over top. Move and tilt your pan around to make sure that all of the veggies are covered.
The secret to a GREAT fritatta: Keep the pan on the heat until you can see the edges are cooked then place in the oven. That’s it, by ensuring the bottom and sides are beginning to set, you’ll end up with a lovely fritatta.
Cook for approximately 20mins or until the centre is set. If you’d like a browner top, just place under the broiler for a few moments.
Allow it to rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

This looks fantastic! I have completely cut out refined sugars and had lost almost 40lbs… I have to admit, next to desserts (obviously), breakfast has been one of the hardest meals to eliminate sugar completely. This frittata looks healthy AND delicious! Will definitely try this!!
