Frittata with Chorizo
The Italian frittata gets a Western spin in this hearty dish, brimming with spicy, smoky chorizo, buttery Manchego cheese, and a tangle of peppers and onions.
We used cured Spanish chorizo sausage in this hearty frittata, but any cured sausage will work. Any cheese, too.

ShareIngredients (10)
- 3 teaspoon olive oil, divided
- 6 ounce fully cooked chorizo sausages, halved lengthwise, and sliced in ¼-inch half moons
- 2 medium red bell peppers, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 12 eggs
- 4 ounce Manchego cheese, shredded
- Chopped fresh cilantro, sour cream and salsa (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo. Sauté until lightly browned and beginning to crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove chorizo.
- Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil to pan. Heat over medium heat. Add sliced pepper, onion, garlic and ¼ teaspoon salt; sauté 6 to 8 minutes.
- Whisk together eggs, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in about two-thirds of the shredded cheese.
- Pour egg mixture into skillet, stirring once to distribute peppers and onions. Reduce heat to low. Arrange chorizo over top of eggs; cook, undisturbed, 5 minutes. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top. Transfer to oven and bake 20 minutes, or until eggs are set and top is puffed and golden.
- Let frittata rest 5 minutes and serve with sour cream and salsa, if using.
