Chorizo Sun-Dried Tomato Mini Frittatas
Chorizo sun-dried tomato mini frittatas make the most flavorful on-the-go breakfast, or pair with a simple salad and serve them for dinner. Perfect for meal prep!
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup (about 1 large link) chorizo crumbled or diced
- 1/3 cup (about 20 grams) sun-dried tomatoes coarsely chopped
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt
- freshly-ground black pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup (about 38 grams) grated mozzarella cheese
- 2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Spray six wells of a muffin tin or small tart pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the sausage and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and saute for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the sausage is cooked through. Remove from the heat, and transfer cooked sausage mixture to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb some of the oil, if desired.
- Add eggs, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
- To assemble the frittatas, place a large spoonful of the sausage-tomato mixture in each muffin or tart well. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan evenly on top, then pour a bit of the egg mixture into each well, leaving about 1/4” of room at the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the egg puffs up and a toothpick inserted into the center of a frittata comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack and let cool slightly; the eggs will sink back down. Gently lift the frittatas from the pan, and serve warm.
Notes
- Frittatas can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat one at a time, microwave for 15-30 seconds. To reheat in bulk, warm at a low temperature in the oven.
- If you can’t find or don’t like chorizo, you can easily substitute bacon or another type of sausage. Just be aware of the flavor profile - this recipe is otherwise savory, thanks to the tomatoes and herbs. So, for example, a maple or other sweetened sausage might taste odd, whereas a sausage that is plain or uses savory Italian spices would probably also taste very good. Of course, the whole recipe is completely adaptable, so experiment with other add-ins and seasonings as you wish!
- While this combo is something I came up with on my own, mini frittatas are literally everywhere on the internet, so I take zero credit for the concept or basic technique!
