Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 100 grams chorizo sausage
- 0.5 bell pepper
- 0.5 onion
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage and crumble it into small pieces.
Dice the bell pepper and onion into small pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook for about 4-5 minutes until it starts to brown and release its oils.
Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the chorizo. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the chorizo and vegetables. Tilt the pan to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed.
Gently push the edges of the omelette towards the centre with a spatula, letting the uncooked eggs flow to the outer edges. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the egg is mostly set.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese-covered side. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the cheese melts and the omelette is fully set.
Slide the chorizo omelette onto a plate, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
