Monday is typically pizza night at our house. There’s something about the first day back to school and work after the weekend that pushed dinner waaaaay down the priorities list. The thing is, Terrence is kind of tired of pizza, and even though it’s my favorite food in the entire world, I’m kind of tired of pizza. So now I’m experimenting with meals that take minimum effort (I’m talking 15 minutes of work or less), but have maximum impact. Using shortcuts like Johnsonville Sausage Beef Brats, which are packed with flavor, definitely help. Sure, these bad boys would taste delicious grilled and eaten on a bun, but then my husband wouldn’t think I toiled over the stove for hours they’re equally as yummy chopped and added in my favorite go-to dishes.
This Monday I thought I’d make a Spanish Tortilla. I’d seen a recipe that looked good one of my Martha Stewart Living magazines, but of course, the night I needed it, I couldn’t find it! I tried to recreate the recipe the best that I could from my memory, and basically ended up with a frittata. I’ll never forget the first time I learned how to make a frittata from my friend Christine, and neither will my family. There was a time in my life when I made frittatas just about every single week! I took a break, and haven’t made them nearly enough for Terrence, so he’s still enchanted by them. Ha! I’ve experimented with a ton of different ingredients, so adding the Beef Brats seemed like a good idea. I’ll take it that Terrence really enjoyed the Johnsonville sausage that I stuffed into tonight’s Spanish Tortilla frittata because he said, “You’re really good at these fritter things.”
And with that, if you think I’m over here dusting off my shoulders…you’re right.
If you want to try out this “fritter thing”, you just need a package of Johnsonville Beef Brats, green and red peppers, eggs, cheese, and 20 minutes of prep time. In less than an hour, you’ll be gnoshing on not pizza, not a Spanish Tortilla, but a yummy, fresh frittata. Check out other tasty recipes using Johnsonville products on their site or Facebook page.

This looks so good and makes me wish that I ate eggs! Bump it…I think I want to try and make this anyway…
I’m not a big egg eater, either. Fritatas, though? Oh, I can get with that! @vaneesemommyworksalot:disqus
Yummy!! I love a good frittata! Such a delicious no-fuss breakfast that people are always impressed with. I bet that sausage put that WHAM-BAM in it! Lol
It sure did! We were smacking our lips! LOL! @disqus_OrXbleKaAP:disqus
That looks and sounds yummy! Plus it’s the kind of recipe you can adjust based on what you have in the fridge/pantry – add some onions, spinach, etc. I’ll be making this soon! Thanks!
That’s right! I love onions and mushrooms, but the rest of the family doesn’t. Hmm…maybe I should make a small one for me that I could eat for lunch every day? Thanks for the idea, @MrsTDJ:disqus
This recipe looks so good. I really llike how bright and colorful it is. The sausage probably adds a relly nice flavor and texture to the dish.
I was totally going for color! It was so good! @janeanedavis:disqus
While the recipe is great and all, can I say that I love that Ayva picks the pieces of sausage out of the frittata, because that’s EXACTLY what I would do. Love Johnsonville, and now I kind of want to do some beer brats. I know that doesn’t match, but their brats are to DIE FOR!
Ayva and I were fighting over the sausage! Their brats are so good, @natashanicholes:disqus
This looks delicious and I love that it’s easy and quick while still packing a punch. Also, colorful food makes me happy.
I am looking for great recipes like this. I can wait to try it
Oh my! Love the Johnsonville brand! This looks absolutely scrumptious!!! I bet it tastes even better as leftovers. It reminds me of the quiches my mom would make when I was younger. Definitely will be trying this soon!
OMG… this will be made this week! I love a frittata and this looks delicious and easy. And I’m all about easy and fast while I’m writing this book. Thanks for sharing.
