Ingredients
6 servings
- •10 oz Chorizo, Pork
- •1 Kale(340g)
- •4 Egg, Whole, Large(176g)
- •1 cup Whole Milk
- •0.3 cup Parmesan Cheese
Grated Parmesan — the shelf-stable canister is fine for cooking.
- •1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
Part-skim mozzarella. Pre-shredded bags are convenient for meal prep.
Instructions
- 1Remove the chorizo from its casings and crumble into a large oven-safe skillet. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.
- 2While the chorizo cooks, remove the kale leaves from the stems, tear into bite-sized pieces, rinse in a colander, and shake dry.
- 3Add the kale to the skillet with the cooked chorizo. Cook over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kale is fully wilted and tender.
- 4Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- 5In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and grated parmesan until smooth and well combined.
- 6Pour the egg mixture evenly over the chorizo and kale in the skillet, stirring gently to distribute the ingredients. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.
- 7Transfer the skillet to the preheated 350°F oven and bake for 40–45 minutes until the frittata is puffy, set in the center, and golden brown on top. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
- 8Remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes. Slice into 6 equal wedges, divide evenly into 6 airtight containers while hot, and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
