Sometimes the simplest of recipes are the best crowd pleasers and this frittata was a home run in our house! Rowan, Jaden, and Coby all voted this “The Best Frittata Ever” so therefore, I must share it with all of you. It’s way too easy by the way, so no need to even fully wake up before you read and make this meal.
Easy and Delicious Sausage Frittata
1 pound mild Italian sausage (we used our fresh pork in the freezer from our recent half a hog purchase that I mention in my Basil Pork Burger post but also check out US Wellness Meats for quality sausage options!)
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and grated
4 green onions, diced
10 eggs
3 tablespoons coconut oil
Pepper to taste
1. In a large oven proof skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
2. Crumble in the sausage (remove from casing if necessary) and brown.
3. Add the shredded sweet potato and cook until the potatoes are tender.
4. Add the diced green onion and saute together with the sausage and sweet potatoes for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Evenly spread the sausage mixture over the bottom of the pan. Whisk together the eggs, and pour evenly over the meat, sweet potato, and green onion mixture. Sprinkle all over with black pepper.
6. Cook for about 3 minutes or until bubbly and you can see that the edges of the frittata are almost done.
7. Transfer to the oven and cook under the broiler on low until the frittata is cooked all the way through.
As always, enjoy!

June 24, 2012 at 5:59 pmWhat temp is the oven and “approximately” how long in the oven?
Sarah says
June 25, 2012 at 12:30 pmHi Sarah! Last of the directions in the blog:
7. Transfer to the oven and cook under the broiler on low until the frittata is cooked all the way through.
Sarah says
June 25, 2012 at 12:31 pmAll ovens vary as far as broiler temp so just watch it and make sure the top doesn’t burn. If you jiggle the pan and the eggs are set and don’t jiggle then you are good to go. Won’t take longer than about 4-5 minutes!

June 24, 2012 at 6:40 pmThis looks so easy and so delicious… and I found it just in time for my grocery shopping tomorrow! I’ve been wanting to make a fritatta lately. Thanks a bunch. Adding you in my Google Reader now! 🙂
Sarah says
June 25, 2012 at 12:29 pmAwesome, thank you!
Sharon says
June 26, 2012 at 10:25 amHow many does this frittata serve?
Sarah says
June 26, 2012 at 1:14 pm4-5 depending on how hungry you are! : )
Mark Eric says
June 26, 2012 at 10:07 pmJust added you to my google reader as well 🙂 I bought all ingredients for this last night. I couldn’t wait to get up this morning to try this out, only to realize I didn’t own an oven safe skillet, bummer. Can’t wait to try it out!
Sarah says
June 27, 2012 at 11:32 amYou can still make it!! Just follow the directions up until you put it in the oven. Instead, make sure the heat on your burner is on low, cover the skillet with a lid and it will still cook, just takes a little bit longer!!

June 28, 2012 at 3:14 pmDelicious!!! I substituted mushrooms for the sweet potato. Very good.
Sarah says
June 28, 2012 at 10:02 pmSo glad you liked it!!

July 8, 2012 at 1:33 pmThat looks fantastic! I will definitely give it a try. I also try to share the paleo idea a bit over in my food posts. Look forward to trying your recipes!
Isela says
July 10, 2012 at 9:01 pmI am new to your blog and to Paleo. Just landed here from a dear friend who has your cookbook. Thank you for the recipes. I will be trying this one next week.
BTW: I love the Print/PDF button. Great idea. How did you get it there? Thank you again.
Sarah says
July 17, 2012 at 6:20 pmAre Frittatas good reheated in the microwave?
Karen R says
July 31, 2012 at 6:28 pmDespite my initial hesitation about putting sweet potatoes with eggs, I must say this was really quite delish. I didn’t have green onions so used regular ones, diced and sautéed. I also just made it was a scramble because who wants to wait that long for it to cook in the oven? (not me, obviously! 🙂 )
Thanks for the keeper!
Megan says
August 22, 2012 at 6:09 pmI made this and it was absolutely delicious! I wonder what would be something good to substitute for the sweet potato, taste-wise. I fed it to a family member who is very sensitive to starches and due to the sweet potato, they got a headache. Otherwise they loved it too, though!
John C says
January 15, 2015 at 1:00 pmI think shredded zucchini would make a nice substitute.
Lizenne says
October 13, 2012 at 10:04 pmI made this tonight and it was a HIT!! So delicious AND to make things better, my 5 yr old could not stop eating it!!! 🙂 This recipe is definitely going in my recipe book! Thank you so much!
Adrianne says
October 22, 2012 at 6:35 amI made this yesterday. I was a bit sceptical of the sweet potato but man, oh, man! This is Super good!
Mary Anne says
November 4, 2012 at 3:22 pmHoy cow!! I just made this, my first frittata ever, and my God, it’s SO GOOD!!! So easy, and honestly, I cannot believe how it was. 🙂 Thank you so much!!
Richard Long says
November 14, 2012 at 11:36 amWow. That looks delicious. I was under the impression however that this website might have “easy” recipes. This is about as far from an easy recipe as entire thanksgiving feast. Maybe if Paleo meals didn’t take an hour to prepare more people would eat right.
Charlene Ealy says
February 10, 2013 at 3:58 pmI love this recipe! I make it about 3 times a month. This last time I made it I cooked some bacon with the sausage. Delicious!
Rob - @formerfatguy says
February 14, 2013 at 10:58 pmI love seeing “10 eggs” and “12 eggs” in your recipes. Refreshing
elizabeth lewis says
February 20, 2013 at 5:30 amI don’t see sausage listed in the ingredients ….
Sarah says
February 20, 2013 at 8:01 amIt’s there, 1lb mild Italian sausage. I had written the title twice on accident so the title was above and below the first ingredient, so it looked weird, thanks for catching that – all fixed now!
Melissa says
March 10, 2013 at 9:10 pmMy boyfriend and I decided to try going Paleo (after each of us gaining 45 pounds..yikes!) We just made this frittata tonight because we have an early morning tomorrow and we caved and had to try it. It was delicious!! He says he could eat it everyday. Woohoo!!
Linda Chin says
March 17, 2013 at 4:27 pmI made this today (prepping for the week). Of course I had to sample!! Real good. One word of caution…if your pan is too hot the veggies will burn making the frittata bitter. Guess how I know. Yeah…patience is NOT my middle name.
Even “crispy” it was great.
Any idea what the calorie count is, by chance? Let’s assume there are 5 servings (10 eggs. 2 eggs per serving).
Thanks!
Sarah says
May 12, 2013 at 8:26 pmI substituted zucchini for the sweet potato and it turned out great! I like eggs but can’t really eat them plain everyday so this is a great alternative. Thanks!
Sarah says
May 15, 2013 at 6:10 amSo glad you liked this and great idea with the zucchini!
Renee Huff says
October 14, 2013 at 10:25 amI started today and this was my first dish! Absolutely fabulous! I used turkey breakfast sausage, and I added green and red bell peppers! Thank you.
Jordan says
May 18, 2013 at 4:56 pmFor sure the best breakfast dish I made so far! Thanks for the idea!
Stephanie says
July 3, 2013 at 3:56 amSoooooo yummy!!!!! My super picky 6 year old loved it too!
Diane says
January 1, 2014 at 10:15 amMade this for brunch for a crowd – put in a 9×13 greased pan – it was a hit. I baked at 350′ for about 40 minutes. Thanks for the recipe!
Pamela says
July 29, 2014 at 2:52 pmHow many people are your websites reciepes meant to serve? No indication but I know it’s not for,1!
Thanks

July 30, 2014 at 8:42 amTypically will feed 3-5 people. 🙂
Anabelle says
September 24, 2014 at 10:49 amHi! Is it possible to omit the green onions? Thank you! 🙂
Sarah says
September 25, 2014 at 9:06 amYes, of course!! Enjoy!
Cindy says
January 13, 2015 at 11:29 amI want to try this – my son hates sweet potatoes because they are… sweet! My older daughter loves them (thinking sweet potato tater tots & fries). Are the sweet potatoes “sweet” in this dish? Or more savory?
Sarah says
January 13, 2015 at 1:22 pmI find them to be more savory since they are cooked with the meat and spices. I hope you all enjoy the dish! We love it! 🙂

February 18, 2018 at 6:46 amHi, can’t wait to make this but was curious how many days it will keep in the fridge and the best way to reheat? Thanks
