Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 150 grams chorizo sausage
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 small, diced onion
- 1 small, seeded and finely chopped jalapeño
- 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 60 ml milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the chorizo until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño until softened, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cooked chorizo and sautéed vegetables into the egg mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the frittatas are set and slightly golden on top.
Allow the frittatas to cool for a few minutes in the tin before carefully removing them with a small spatula or knife.
Serve warm, or let cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
