Ingredients
- 2 jalapeño peppers
- 1/4 cup 35% heavy cream
- 8 large eggs
- Kosher salt and pepper
- 3 Tbsp canola oil
- 8 breakfast sausages (about 1 oz each)
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup shredded aged Cheddar cheese
- 16 prepared mini buttermilk biscuits, split
- 1 large green tomato, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced
Directions
Position oven rack in top third of oven.
Preheat oven to broil. Place jalapeños on small baking sheet; broil, turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until charred. Transfer to small bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand for 5 minutes; peel skin. Chop jalapeños coarsely into small pieces (remove seeds for less heat); set aside.
Whisk together cream, eggs and pinch of salt and pepper in small bowl.
Heat oil in 10-inch nonstick ovenproof sauté pan set over medium-high heat; cook breakfast sausages for 4 to 6 minutes or until browned, breaking up meat with wooden spoon. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausages to plate; set aside.
Reduce heat to medium; in same sauté pan, cook onion for 4 to 6 minutes or until lightly caramelized. Return jalapeños and sausages to pan, stirring to combine. Pour egg mixture into pan; cook for about 3 minutes or until frittata is almost set but top is still runny. Sprinkle Cheddar over top.
Transfer pan to oven; broil for about 3 minutes or until lightly puffed and cheese is golden brown. Turn off oven; let stand in oven for 5 minutes.
Arrange biscuits on parchment paper–lined baking sheet; place in oven to warm through. Using rubber spatula, loosen frittata from pan and invert onto cutting board; cut into 16 pieces. Sandwich frittata and green tomato slices in biscuits.
