How to Make Chorizo Frittata

  1. Dice the potatoes into small, bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the diced potatoes with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 4 minutes, or until tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until light and frothy.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese and set aside.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add the chorizo to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for about 3 minutes, or until browned.
  7. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until softened, about 4 minutes.
  8. Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and cook for another 4 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  9. Pour the egg mixture over the chorizo and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
  10. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 10 minutes, or until the eggs are almost completely set.
  11. Preheat your broiler to high.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese evenly over the top of the frittata.
  13. Place the skillet under the broiler for 3 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly bubbly.
  14. Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
