This past weekend, we hosted a brunch at our home where I got the bright idea to make a bunch of new-to-me things. Including a butternut squash and sausage frittata recipe. For the record: I don’t like or eat eggs. Yes, I know. Frittatas are made with eggs. What do ya know? Maybe I do like eggs. I’m not sure, but I definitely liked this! It was the first thing to be gobbled up at our brunch, so I wasn’t the only one. 🙂
- 2-3 links of cooked chicken sausage, chopped
- 1/2 diced red pepper
- 1 butternut squash chopped and cubed
- 5 medium sized eggs
- fresh rosemary and thyme
- salt and pepper
- preheat oven to 375
- cook red pepper, sausage and squash until heated through (about 5-10 minutes)
- while pepper, sausage and squash is cooking, beat eggs, salt, pepper, and herbs until well combined
- pour eggs over filing and cook on stovetop until the edges set
- once edges set, cook in oven for 5-10 minutes until cooked through
- you can add whatever you have on hand - that's the great thing about frittatas! just make sure the ingredients are fresh and high quality.
This is a really easy recipe that works for breakfast, brunch or dinner. It’s pretty hard to mess up, so might be a good recipe to make with kids or with those less adept in the kitchen. AKA – an “I think my husband could make this” recipe. 🙂 Give it a go!
Do you eat eggs? What else should this non egg liking (but frittata loving) gal try, eggwise?
I love eggs, so I take my suggestions with a grain of salt, but I’m a huge fan of the crustless quiche that’s on my site. Not hugely different from the fritatta, but can be made ahead and eaten for breakfast all week.

Who doesn’t love a good squash fritatta?! Which calorie estimator are you using?

i don’t use an estimator. it’s a part of the recipe plugin i use! honestly, i’d disable that part if i could since i have no idea if it’s accurate.
yum! i am loving butternut squash everything these days.

it’s so good and tasty and just feels like fall!
I love frittatas 🙂 I feel like they’re fairly easy but look impressive for a party. I actually just made one that I’m planning on sharing the recipe for on my blog this week. I’ve never tried them with butternut squash so I’ll have to add that to my list.

i will be making many versions of this for awhile. my husband and i are obsessed!
Yum! I love frittatas, and this is a perfect fall take on one. I haven’t made a frittata in quite some time, but I need to change that!

Umm, you are turning into a food blogger, just need to work on the photos a little and you’ve got it down! ANOTHER great recipe 🙂

haha, so NOT a food blogger. it is so much work to take pretty pictures of food at 8pm at night. i really don’t know how they do it! but thanks 🙂
I have been eating chicken sausage lately. But usually I only cook it in a pan and call it dinner.. Now I have an idea to do something else with it. Thanks.

I can’t believe you don’t like eggs, Courtney…or that you THINK you don’t like eggs – ha! I love frittatas for the same reason you mentioned above – you can just throw a bunch of stuff together and it tastes good! I like to put baby spinach, grape tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and a little basil together; trust me, you’ll never taste those eggs – ha! This looks like a great recipe; thank you for sharing.

HAHAHA, I know, kind of strange, huh?
I love eggs! I should probably transition to egg whites but so far my cholesterol is good.

yeah that’s a good idea! next on my list. 🙂
I have a love/hate with eggs. I am VERY picky about how they are cooked, I also am not a fan of the yolk. And don’t put cheese anywhere near them. Ugh. BUT! scrambles and with veggies and things are the way to go – and that frittata looks absolutely, positively, AMAZING!
