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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage and crumble it into small pieces.

Step 3

Dice the bell pepper and onion into small pieces.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the chorizo. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Slide the chorizo omelette onto a plate, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
