Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics - In your oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Cook the Sausage - Add the mild Italian sausages to the skillet, breaking them up with your spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Add the Spinach - Stir in the chopped fresh spinach (or frozen spinach) and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Step 5: Whisk the Eggs - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten.
  6. Step 6: Combine Ingredients - Pour the beaten eggs over the sausage and spinach mixture in the skillet. Gently stir to combine.
  7. Step 7: Add Bocconcini - Sprinkle the bocconcini over the top of the egg mixture.
  8. Step 8: Bake the Frittata - Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
  9. Step 9: Broil for Extra Color - Broil the frittata for an additional 2-3 minutes for a beautiful finish.
  10. Step 10: Serve and Enjoy - Let the frittata cool for a few minutes, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
