Description

This has been our favorite frittata combination so far! Smoked chorizo, thinly sliced sweet peppers, and melt-in-your mouth caramelized onions come together in the baked breakfast perfection.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound of chorizo (I used smoked chorizo; it initially came in link form but i just cut it out of it’s casing!)
  • 6-8 sweet peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 C spinach
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/4 C unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional) adds a “cheesy” flavor

Serve with:

  • salsa
  • pico de gallo
  • guacamole or just smashed avocado

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 11×14 oven safe pan with parchment paper.
  2. Sauté the sliced yellow onion in the oil on low or medium-low till they begin to soften and turn a caramel brow color. This will take 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  3. Brown the chorizo in a skillet.
  4. Whip the 12 eggs and 1/4 C of unsweetened coconut milk till combined well. The mixture should look creamy and frothy. Season with nutritional yeast (optional), salt and pepper.
  5. Layer all the vegetables i.e. caramelized onions, spinach, sliced peppers,  in the bottom of the baking dish.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables.
  7. Lastly, spread the cooked chorizo evenly over the frittata.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or till the center is cooked throughout. Check occasionally as each oven cooks differently.
