  • 4 Servings
  • Prep 10 min
  • Cook 45 min

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • One 3-ounce package smoked chorizo, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
  • 1/2 red onion, cut into small cubes
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into small cubes
  • 1 yellow-fleshed potato (about 1/2 pound), such as yukon gold, peeled and cut into small cubes
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 pound mozzarella cheese, coarsely shredded
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 4 ounces mixed greens

Freeze the cheese for 15 minutes for easy grating—just don't forget about it!

Veg out! Skip the chorizo and brown an 8-ounce package of sliced mushrooms in 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil before proceeding with the onion.

Slice frittata leftovers 1/2 inch thick. Spread hot-sauce-spiked mayonnaise on a split croissant. Fill with the frittata slices, crisp bacon and spinach leaves.

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°. In a medium ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chorizo to a bowl. Add the onion to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper and cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes; add the onion and bell pepper to the chorizo. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Add the potato, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in the chorizo mixture, eggs and two-thirds of the mozzarella; season with salt and pepper. Cook, undisturbed, until the bottom sets, about 2 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the center is just set, 6 to 8 minutes.

  2. Preheat the broiler. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top of the frittata and broil until the cheese is golden, about 2 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the greens and toss; season with salt and pepper. Serve with the frittata.
