This baked frittata is an easy, all-in-one bake that works for breakfast, lunch or a light dinner. You roast the chorizo and veg first to build flavour, then pour over a simple egg and milk mix, top with cheese and bake until golden and set.
It feeds six and is great hot or cold, so it is handy for meal prep and lunchboxes. Use whatever veg you have, it is a forgiving one.
Why You’ll Love It
This one’s so handy. It’s an all-in-one oven bake that works for breakfast, lunch or dinner, it’s great hot or cold, it’s a good way to use up whatever veg you have, and it feeds six.
The Shortcut That Makes It Work
You roast the chorizo and veg in the same dish, then pour the egg straight over and bake, so it is all one dish. A good way to use up whatever veg is in the fridge.
Handy Tips
Roast the chorizo and veg first, it deepens the flavour and cooks off any extra moisture. Beat the eggs and milk well so the frittata sets evenly. Reduce the oven temperature before the egg goes in so it cooks gently and stays tender. It is done when it is golden and just set in the middle.
Make It Suit Your House
Use almost any vegetables you like, spinach, zucchini, tomato, asparagus or broccoli all work. Saute or roast them first. Leave out the chorizo for a vegetarian version, or swap it for bacon or ham. Use milk for a lighter frittata or cream for a richer one.
What To Serve With It
Lovely with a simple green salad for lunch or dinner, or some crusty bread for breakfast.
How to Store It
Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through. It also freezes well: cool completely, cut into portions, wrap each piece, and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen at 180°C until hot all the way through.

Method
- Preheat your oven to a toasty 220C.
- In a baking dish, combine your chorizo, capsicums, onion, and mushrooms. Season with salt, pepper, and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Toss it all together to make sure everything is well coated.
- Pop the dish into the oven and let it roast for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat your eggs with the milk. This is the creamy mixture that will bind everything together in a fluffy delight.
- Take the dish out of the oven, reduce the temperature to 180C, and carefully pour over your egg mixture. Sprinkle the top with cheese, because we all deserve that extra cheese in the morning!
- Slide the dish back into the oven and bake until it’s golden brown and set – about 25 minutes.
- Voilà! Your Baked Frittata is ready to enjoy!
