4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
•
1/2 pound Smithfield® Breakfast Sausage
•
1 red bell pepper, diced
•
1 green bell pepper, diced
•
12 eggs
•
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
•
1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco®)
•
Salt and pepper
•
Olive oil cooking spray
•
2 cloves garlic, chopped
•
3 tablespoons grated onion

Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2
Add a drizzle of olive oil in a pan over high heat. Once hot, add the sausage and cook, breaking it up as it browns, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the chopped peppers and cook until soft, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool.
3
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, Parmesan, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked sausage and peppers. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil cooking spray. Pour the egg mixture into the muffin tin.
4
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
5
Meanwhile, in another skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onion, and oregano and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and simmer to thicken, about 10 minutes.
6
Remove mini frittatas from the oven. Top each with a spoonful of the sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Reserve the remaining sauce for serving. Continue baking to melt the cheese, 5 minutes more. Top with parsley and basil.
