One Local Summer, Week 1

Today began our foray into the One Local Summer Challenge. I decided to keep the pictures in a set on my Flickr account, but we'll also be posting them here, along with the recipes.

Here is our first week's entry, made with all local ingredients.

Chicken Florentine Sausage Frittata

1 lb. chicken florentine sausage, cut into 1/2" slices

1 tbsp. butter
6 eggs
1/4 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
2 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup swiss cheese, shredded

Saute sausage pieces in oven-safe skillet until browned. Remove sausage from pan and cool slightly. Wipe skillet dry. When sausage is cool, chop sausage into bite size pieces. In a bowl, combine eggs, half-and-half, chives and parsley. Melt butter in original skillet. Return cooled sausage to pan and saute slightly until browned all over. Pour egg mixture over sausage in skillet. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes until the eggs are set. Remove cover. Sprinkle cheese over top. Broil uncovered until cheese is melted and slightly browned. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
