Maple Sausage & Apple Frittata

Oh, gather around, my fellow food enthusiasts, for I am about to unveil the secret behind what I like to call the "Breakfast of Champions" - or, for those who prefer to sleep past noon (guilty as charged), let's dub it the "Brunch of the Gods." Yes, I'm talking about the Maple Sausage & Apple Frittata, a culinary masterpiece that's basically like eating a hug. If hugs were edible. And made you full. And tasted like maple. You get the point.

Now, before we dive into the "how-to," let's address the elephant in the room - the ingredients list. You'll need eggs (because, duh, it's a frittata), maple sausage links (shoutout to @vtsalumi for making sausages that could probably bring about world peace), a half an apple (because an entire apple is just outrageous), and a few other bits and bobs like butter, onion, maple syrup, basil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cheese. Because everything is better with cheese. If you disagree, I'm sorry, but you're wrong.

So, how did I whip up this bad boy? First, I preheated my oven to a toasty 400 degrees because patience is not a virtue I possess when it comes to food. Then, I got my skillet all buttered up and tossed in the onion, apple chunks, and sausage along with a generous glug of maple syrup. Cooked it all up until the onions were practically weeping with joy, and the sausage looked like it had just gotten back from a beach vacation. Next, I added a sprinkle of fresh basil and a dash of garlic powder for that "chef's kiss" moment. Whisked my eggs with a splash of half and half (because we're fancy like that), poured it over my skillet concoction, and gave it a loving blanket of mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Into the oven it went, and 15-20 minutes later, voilà! A frittata so fluffy, it made clouds look dense. And yes, I reheated the leftovers the next day, and it was still divine. Fight me.

This lil’ sweet and savory frittata is so delicious. It’s got the perfect amount of sweetness from the maple sausage, balanced with the tartness from the apples and saltiness from the cheese. It’s a quick and easy meal for a crowd or just yourself if you want leftovers! Who said you can’t reheat frittata? I do it all the time!
