How to Make Spanish Comfort Food Egg Sausage Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet (approximately 9x13 inches) over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper; cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the chorizo sausage (or ham) to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained), smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Manchego cheese.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetable mixture in the skillet.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the casserole is lightly golden brown.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
