Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 150 grams chorizo sausage
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 1 small, diced onion
• 1 small, seeded and finely chopped jalapeño
• 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
• 60 ml milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the chorizo until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño until softened, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Add the cooked chorizo and sautéed vegetables into the egg mixture and stir until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the frittatas are set and slightly golden on top.

Step 8

Allow the frittatas to cool for a few minutes in the tin before carefully removing them with a small spatula or knife.

Step 9

Serve warm, or let cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
