Author Notes
The eggs were perfectly set – slightly gooey because of the cheese, the flavours were delicious, and Sunday brunch turned out to be a real treat! The combination of chorizo and oven-dried tomatoes really elevated this frittata and made it so much more than just a glorified omelette. —Kirthana | Theblurrylime
Ingredients
-
5
large eggs
-
60 grams
chorizo, cut into 1 inch pieces
-
30 grams
spinach, coarsely chopped
-
1
onion, julienned
-
1
tomato, sliced into 1/2 in. rounds
-
1
clove of garlic, minced
-
1/4 cup
plain flour
-
50 grams
grated Cheddar
-
A few sun/oven-dried tomatoes (optional)
-
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
-
Freshly ground black pepper
-
Salt
Directions
-
Preheat oven to a moderate 190 C (375 F) and butter a 9 inch baking dish.
-
Sauté the chorizo in a small pan until crispy. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for a further 4 – 5 minutes until the onions soften and turn translucent. Add the spinach to this and cook until it just starts to wilt, about 1 minute. Take off the heat and set aside.
-
Whisk the eggs until light and fluffy in a bowl; add the grated cheese, flour, salt, and pepper and mix until it’s all well incorporated. Tip in the slightly cooled onion, spinach and chorizo and stir through.
-
Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and place the tomatoes in an even layer over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is lightly browned and the eggs are just set, but still moist in the middle. Place a few sun-dried tomatoes on top along with a few basil leaves and serve immediately.
