  • 3-4 rashes streaky bacon, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 10 eggs
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 45g fresh parsley

Method

  1. Heat 1-2 tbsp of oil over a medium heat in a 25cm skillet or 25cm shallow casserole pan.

  2. Add chorizo, bacon and onion and cook until onion is soft and bacon is cooked through, (approx. 6-8 minutes). Add red pepper and garlic and cook for a further minute.

  3. Stir in cooked rice, paprika, salt and pepper and heat for a further minute.

  4. Meanwhile in a bowl whisk eggs, milk and parsley, then pour evenly over chorizo mixture. Cover and cook on medium heat for approximately 8 minutes, or until the bottom and sides are firm and top is almost set.

  5. Top with cheese then transfer to a preheated oven at 180˚C for 4-5 minutes (until the cheese is bubbly and the frittata is set).

  6. Leave to cool for 5 minutes and then cut into 6-8 slices and serve.

  7. While this dish is best served hot, it is also delicious eaten cold and can be refrigerated for 24 hours and reheated.
