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.
