sausage / corn, potato, & scallion frittata / simple salad

Contents of your meal kit:

sausage
organic eggs
garlic
scallion
fingerling potatoes
corn
smoked mozzarella
vinaigrette base
salad greens

Equipment needed:  oven-safe nonstick skillet (see note), microwave-safe bowl, mixing bowl

Finishing steps:

  1. Preheat your oven’s broiler.  Add 1/3 cup of water to the skillet along with the sausage, bring to a simmer, cover, reduce heat to low and steam 10-15 minutes.  Transfer to plate and wipe skillet with a paper towel.
  2. Chop garlic, set aside.  Slice the scallion, keeping white and green parts separate.  Use a sharp knife to remove the corn from the cob.
  3. Slice fingerling potatoes crosswise into ¼-inch slices.  Place in a microwave-safe bowl, along with 2-3 tablespoons of water.  Cover with plastic wrap, and poke a few holes to let steam escape.  Microwave for 2-3 minutes or until tender, drain.
  4. Crack eggs into a bowl and season generously with salt & pepper.  Whisk together, and then stir in shredded mozzarella cheese and green part of scallion.
  5. Heat a small amount of oil in the skillet.  When oil is hot, add steamed potatoes, white part of scallion, and chopped garlic.  Sauté together 3-5 minutes or until golden.  Pour egg mixture into pan, stir once to combine, then immediately transfer to oven.  Cook under broiler until puffed and lightly brown (1-3 minutes).  Insert a knife into the center to test for doneness.  Slide onto a plate, or let cool slightly to slice and serve directly from skillet.
  6. Meanwhile, place sausages on a baking sheet and broil both sides until golden brown.
  7. Pour vinaigrette base into the bottom of a salad bowl, add an equal amount of olive oil and whisk or mix with a fork to combine.  Season with salt & pepper to taste.   Serve the salad alongside a slice of the frittata.

Notes

  • Most pans are oven safe for a brief amount of time.  If yours has a plastic or rubber handle, wrap foil around it to protect.
  • Aren’t sure about putting your pan in the oven?   Use the following modification:  follow the recipe through step 4, then instead of adding eggs to pan, add the ingredients from the pan into the bowl with your egg mixture.  Stir quickly to combine, and transfer everything into a parchment lined baking pan (example pictured below).  Bake in a 375 degree oven for 10 minutes (or until puffed and golden)
