What temperature do I cook Cajun Frittata at?

How do I know when Cajun Frittata is done?

Is there a substitute for andouille in Cajun Frittata?

Can I make Cajun Frittata dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Cajun Frittata is 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded. Swap the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor). The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Is Cajun Frittata gluten-free?

Yes. As written, nothing in the ingredient list for Cajun Frittata is wheat, barley or rye. Gluten hides in packaged goods, so read the label on the Cajun seasoning and the sausage.
