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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the chorizo into small pieces and set aside. Dice the red bell pepper and yellow onion into small, even pieces.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Step 7
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the chorizo and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
