On Sundays I always make a frittata…because its an amazing way to serve a crowd, as well as a great way to food prep for a week of healthy, pack and go breakfasts! This frittata is a Spicy Chorizo Frittata, made with Vital Farms eggs, Pederson’s Natural Farms’ No Sugar Chorizo, and filled with peppers, onions and cilantro.
The other ingredients include full fat un-sweetened coconut milk, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper.
I start by preparing all of the veggies, and then sauteing the the chorizo in a medium/hot pan. Once cooked, I remove the chorizo (leaving behind the fat) and set the chorizo aside on a paper towel lined plate.
In a large mixing bowl, I then whisk the eggs, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper. I then pour the egg mixture into a parchment paper lined 9″ x 11″ parchment paper lined baking pan. I then top the egg mixture with the peppers, onions, chorizo and cilantro. I then bake the frittata at 375F for about 25-30 minutes, until the eggs are set all the way through.
This is why lining the baking pan with parchment paper is KEY!!!!!!!!!!! No more scrubbing the pan for days!!!! Seriously! Life changing!!!
I like to serve a nice big slice of this Spicy Chorizo Frittata along with a dressed salad and some fruit. With this frittata, I don’t add a plated fat (other than the salad dressing) as the chorizo is a bit fatty.
- ½ - ¾ lb chorizo (I used @pedersonsfarms )
- 12 eggs (I used @vitalfarms )
- ½ cup coconut milk (I warm it in the can on the stove while it pre-heats)
- ¼ cup @bragglivefoods nutritional yeast
- Salt (just a bit, the chorizo may be salty) and pepper
- 2 bell peppers, sliced or diced
- ½ small red onion, sliced or diced
- ½ cup cilantro
- Pre-heat the oven to 375 F.
- Prepare the veggies.
- In a skillet on the stove, cook the chorizo. Remove the chorizo, leaving the fat behind, and set it aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper.
- Pour egg mixture into a parchment paper lined 9" x 11' baking pan.
- Top the egg mixture with the chorizo, peppers, onions and cilantro.
- Bake at 375 F for 30 mins (or until the eggs are fully set).
- Enjoy!!!!
