Chorizo Frittata
There’s something so comforting about a warm, hearty frittata fresh out of the oven. It feels a little fancy, but it’s incredibly quick and easy to make. This recipe is perfect for slow mornings, meal prep, or a simple weeknight dinner. The chorizo adds a rich flavor, and you can easily swap the veggies and cheese for whatever you have on hand. I used a 12-inch cast iron skillet - if yours is smaller, just reduce the number of eggs to fit.

  • (optional - topping) sour cream or greek yogurt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine milk, eggs, cheese, salt and pepper. Whisk together until combined well and set to the side. 
  3. In a preheated skillet, add your chorizo. Break into bite size pieces as it cooks. Cook until done. Remove chorizo from skillet and set to the side
  4. In the same skillet add mushrooms and onion and cook until mushrooms are done. Add in the spinach at the very end. Cook until lightly wilted. 
  5. Add the chorizo back into the skillet and top with the Egg mixture. Gently shake the pan to distribute. 
  6. Put into the oven and bake for 15- 18 minutes or until the eggs are set. 
  7. Let cool and serve with sour cream, cilantro, avocado - whatever you want!
