Huevos Rancheros Frittata

I made this dish twice over the weekend. It is delish and very easy to make. It's a twist on the huevos rancheros/chorizo and eggs.

Huevos Rancheros Frittata

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
8 oz Pork Chorizo
1/2 bunch of green onions minced
2 garlic cloves minced
1 tomato diced
6 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees

Mince the green onions and garlic, dice the tomatoes, and chop the cilantro and set aside.

Over medium heat in a skillet, cook the chorizo for about 5 minutes. Add, all at once, the green onions, garlic, and tomatoes. Saute with chorizo, scraping the brown bits up from the bottom of the pan with the juice from the tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, beat the eggs and milk in a mixing bowl. Add salt and pepper to your liking and the cheese. Before adding eggs to the pan, push the chorizo/tomato mixture to the side of the pan and add butter and let it melt in the bottom of the pan. Once melted, mix with chorizo and tomatoes so that it covers the bottom of the pan. Next, pour eggs over the chorizo and tomatoes and let it cook for about 5 minutes shaking the pan like you are cooking an omelet. Take off heat and put it in the oven to bake for 10 minutes or until it is cooked and set throughout.

Serve with corn tortillas, avocado, and salsa... or whatever other accompaniment you would like.

It's been awhile

Honestly, I have no idea what I have been doing or where I've been. I haven't even been cooking all that much. Or painting at all. I did plant flowers on my deck and they look very nice. I will get a photo for you to look at.

I did cook a bit this weekend when the family came to town. And I do have a breakfast recipe to share - so don't give up on me!
