Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams chorizo sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 60 ml whole milk
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 75 grams baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the chorizo into small pieces and set aside. Dice the red bell pepper and yellow onion into small, even pieces.
In a medium-sized oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it releases its oils and begins to brown.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the chorizo. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and spread the mixture evenly across the bottom.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the chorizo and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
