Ingredient Notes

Chorizo: An unmistakable Spanish sausage packed with paprika and garlic. Eggs: The protein-packed base of our frittata. Red Bell Pepper: For a hint of sweetness and a shower of color. Red Onion: Gives a burst of crispness and flavor to balance the richness.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by sautéing the onion and red bell pepper, then add in the chorizo. Once browned, pour over beaten eggs and let it cook on low heat. As the frittata begins to set around the edges, finish it in the oven until set in the center. Buen Provecho!

Things I’ve Learned

Ensure the eggs are well-beaten for a fluffy frittata. Cook chorizo thoroughly to render out its flavor. Using a well-seasoned or non-stick skillet makes it easier to remove the frittata.
