This easy Keto Chorizo Frittata will take your egg game to a new level. Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner – or make ahead for lunches – it sneaks in some broccoli for added greens.
For those that don’t like broccoli, give this Keto Chorizo Frittata a go. After steaming the broccoli, it gets tossed with the chorizo and olive oil to soak up all the delicious flavours.
I like to sprinkle this with parmesan and let it sit, then flip it upside down to serve with the crunchy golden side up. Being a pretty complete meal on its own, I find it best served with some simple green salad leaves.
Keto Chorizo Frittata with Broccoli
Using an oven proof frying pan makes this simple frittata a one dish wonder, ready in 25 minutes.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the grill to maximum heat.
-
Whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, cream and paprika.
-
Cut the broccoli into small florets and steam in the microwave for 2 - 3 minutes until just tender.
-
In a deep oven proof frying pan, add one tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Dice the chorizo and add to the hot oil. Fry until golden and crispy.
-
Add the steamed broccoli and remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss through until the broccoli has absorbed all of the oil.
-
Turn the heat to low and add the egg mixture, ensuring it works its way around all of the broccoli. Cook on low for 10 - 12 minutes until almost set.
-
Top with parmesan cheese and put under the grill for 2- 3 minutes, watching closely, until golden.

Hi Rachel,
Can't wait to try this recipe! However, I'm American and don't know what you mean when you refer to a grill. Is that the same as an oven broiler here in the states? Thanks very much!

Just wondering if you have an dairy free alternative/substitution for the cream?

Hi Rebecca, in this particular recipe you could leave out the cream, use a light flavoured coconut cream or buy a lactose free cream.
