"Froutalia is a traditional dish from the Cyclades islands (Aegean Sea). It can be made with a variety of ingredients depending on the season. Like zucchini, artichokes, or broad beans. But always includes a local sausage and potatoes. Cooked either stovetop or baked. Froutalia can quickly be put together as a "maze" appetizer or summer lunch for unexpected guests. Based on free-range eggs, local fennel flavored pork sausage, and "Volaki" a mature piquant cheese. I believe the following recipe will help you recreate the local dish at home. Delicious served hot or cold tastes great too.

4 medium size potatoes, boiled, cooled & thinly sliced

How To Make "froutalia" greek omelette from andros island

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Place a frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Cut the sausage into1/4 inch pieces and saute in the frying pan, for 1 -2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 3

If the pan is dry add 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter. Add the potatoes, sliced as thinly as possible round. Season with salt & pepper and saute for 1 -2 minutes until golden.
Step 4

TIP: At this point, you can either continue cooking in the ovenproof skillet and bake in the preheated oven till eggs are set, for about 10 minutes or in a baking dish like I did.
Step 5

Lightly grease a 10-inch baking dish and spread a layer of the sauteed potatoes overlapping. Add a layer of the sausage slices. Sprinkle some cheese between layers. If you have remaining pieces of potatoes & sausage you can make one more layer.
Step 6

In a bowl beat eggs, milk, pepper, freshly chopped mint, and remaining cheese and mix. Pour the mixture over the potatoes & sausages and bake for about 20 minutes.
Step 7

Remove, cut in wedges and serve with fresh crusty bread and Greek tomato salad Kali Orexi: ENJOY!!!
