The frittata will be easier to remove from the skillet if it sits for a few minutes—the top will deflate and the edges will pull away from the pan.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

12 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
3/4 cup grated cheddar, divided
Kosher salt, coarsely ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/2 pound fresh Spanish chorizo or hot Italian sausage links, casings removed
1 bunch broccoli rabe, coarsely chopped

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat broiler. Whisk eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Mix in 1/2 cup cheddar; season with salt and pepper and set aside.

    Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet, preferably castiron, over medium heat. Add onion and chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and chorizo is brown, 6–8 minutes. Add broccoli rabe; season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8–10 minutes longer.

    Step 3

    Reduce heat to low and pour reserved egg mixture over vegetables. Cook, shaking pan occasionally, until edges are just set, 10–12 minutes. Top frittata with remaining 1/4 cup cheddar; broil until top is golden brown and center is set, about 4 minutes longer.

    Step 4

    Cut frittata into wedges and serve warm or room temperature.

    Step 5

    DO AHEAD: Frittata can be made 2 hours ahead. Let cool, then cover.
