Café Fritatta

This took a bit more time than some of the recipes but my goodness it was delcious. We tried it for a Saturday breakfast and it was also very good slightly reheated in the microwave oven the following day. I hope you will try it with the fennel seed, it adds an interesting flavor.

Ingredients:
• 8 ounces bulk Italian sausage
• 1 cup chopped green pepper
• 1 teaspoon fennel seed
• 8 eggs
• 1/2 cup (4 oz.) part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 small tomato, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup (1 oz.) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese


In 10-inch omelet pan or skillet with ovenproof handle over medium heat, cook sausage, green pepper and fennel seed, stirring to break sausage apart, until sausage is browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well. Return to pan.

In medium bowl, beat together eggs, ricotta cheese and garlic powder until blended. Pour into pan over sausage mixture. Cover. Cook over medium heat until eggs are almost set, about 8 to 10 minutes. Top with tomato slices. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Broil about 6 inches from heat until cheese is melted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve from pan or slide from pan onto serving platter.

Tip: To make handle ovenproof, wrap completely with aluminum foil.
