Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup pork chorizo casings removed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat broiler.
  2. In a small skillet, cook the chorizo on your stovetop until almost done, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  3. In a medium ovenproof (preferably cast-iron) skillet, heat oil over medium heat and cook onion and serrano, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini and corn, cooked chorizo, and cook until zucchini and corn are tender, about 7 minutes more.
  4. In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and oregano and pour into skillet with vegetables. Cook until sides are just beginning to set, 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Transfer skillet to oven and broil until just set in the middle and lightly golden and puffed on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cut into wedges. Feel free to top frittata with salsa or queso fresco.

Notes

  • The nice thing about this recipe is that it is customizable. Feel free to eliminate the chorizo and serrano if you aren’t fond of spice.
