Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 large eggs
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces chorizo sausage, small diced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup diced yellow onions
1/2 cup diced green bell peppers
1/2 cup diced red bell peppers
2 tablespoons minced green onions (green tops only), plus more for garnish
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup cubed mixed cheese (Swiss, Cheddar, Monterey jack, Munster)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler and place the top rack 4 to 5 inches from the broiler element.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper until the eggs are frothy. Set aside.
  • Set a 10-inch, oven-proof skillet over medium high heat and add the chorizo. Cook the chorizo, stirring often, until most of the fat has rendered and the chorizo is well caramelized, about 4-5 minutes. Add the butter, onions and green and red bell peppers and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the green onions, garlic, parsley, remaining 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • With the pan over medium heat, pour the egg mixture over the chorizo and vegetables, and evenly place the cubed cheeses across the surface. Cook, lifting with a rubber spatula to let the eggs flow underneath, until the edges are set but the middle still is loose, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top. Place under the broiler until the eggs are slightly puffed and the cheese is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent from overcooking.
  • Remove from the oven and carefully slide the frittata out onto a large serving platter. Garnish with additional parsley and chopped green onions, slice, and serve immediately.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 Tbsp olive oil
2 c onions, thinly sliced
salt
black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 lb chorizo sausage, diced
2 c potatoes, small diced, blanched
8 large eggs
1 Tbsp fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large non-stick ovenproof saute pan, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until caramelized, about 8 minutes. Add the sausage and saute for 2 minutes. Add the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to saute for 1 minute. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Season with salt and pepper. Using the back of a spoon, lightly press the chorizo/potato mixture over the bottom of the pan. Pour in the egg mixture.
  • 2. Place in the oven and bake until the center is firm to the touch, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and cool slightly. Slice into individual servings and place on serving plates. Garnish with parsley.

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your frittata. Look for flavorful chorizo, fresh vegetables, and good quality cheese.
  • Cook the chorizo thoroughly: Make sure to cook the chorizo until it is browned and crispy. This will help to release its flavor and prevent it from being greasy.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs in a frittata should be cooked until they are just set. Overcooking them will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Top with your favorite toppings: Once the frittata is cooked, you can top it with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cheese, salsa, sour cream, and avocado.

Conclusion:

Chorizo frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. It's packed with flavor and protein, and it's a great way to use up leftover chorizo. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect frittata every time.
