Tasty Frittata with Sausage and Speck

The frittata with sausage and speck is a rich and flavorsome dish, typical of the abundance of Italian flavors. Here’s the recipe for a delicious and cheesy frittata:

Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 100 g of diced speck
• 200 g of fresh sausage
• 50 g of grated cheese (Parmesan or Pecorino)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Butter (optional)
• Chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
• 1 clove of garlic (optional)

Preparation

1. In a frying pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil with a whole clove of garlic if desired to flavor the sauté. Add the crumbled sausage after removing the casing, and brown it until it is golden and crispy.

2. Once the sausage is cooked, remove the garlic and add the diced speck, allowing it to brown lightly for a few minutes until it becomes crispy.

3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and the grated cheese until smooth. If you like, you can also add some herbs such as chopped parsley.

4. Remove the excess fat from the pan with the sausage and speck (you can leave a little to prevent the frittata from sticking) and pour the beaten egg mixture into the pan.

5. Cook over medium-low heat, without stirring, until the edges start to pull away from the pan and the bottom has slightly solidified.

6. To turn the frittata, help yourself with a plate or a lid larger than the pan, flip the frittata and slide it back into the pan to cook the other side.

7. Continue cooking for a few minutes, until the other side is also well-browned, and the frittata is completely cooked inside.

8. At this point, the frittata is ready to be served hot, preferably garnished with chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.
