Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 ounces sweet Italian sausage, removed from casing (about 2 links)
  • 1 large bunch scallions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups 1/2-inch bread cubes, from a day-old loaf of country bread
  • 1/4 cup grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Heat the oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook the sausage, crumbling with the back of a wooden spoon, until the meat is no longer pink, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the scallions, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring, until the scallions begin to wilt, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Toss in the bell pepper, and cook, stirring, until wilted but not completely limp, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Beat the eggs with the milk and remaining salt in a bowl.
  • Let the bread cubes soak in the egg-milk mixture until moistened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat under skillet to medium-low, then pour in the eggs and bread and let cook, without stirring, until the eggs begin to set around the edges of the pan, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle all over the top with the grated cheese.
  • Put the skillet in the oven, and bake until frittata is set all the way through and the top is golden, about 18 minutes.
  • Let rest for a few minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the skillet and invert onto a plate or cutting board.
  • Serve in wedges, warm or at room temperature.
