Chorizo & Kale Frittata

  • July 8, 2021
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

By Sara McGlothlin

Sometimes when it comes to dinner prep, my dish ideas are very planned. I take time to scour blogs or Paleo Pinterest creations, make a list, and hit the store. Other times, I get inspired by something I already have on hand, figure out how to make it into a meal, and go from there.

Having some chorizo sausage links sitting in the fridge, I debated between whether to incorporate them into a veggie noodle pasta or take a more unconventional (for me) approach. I’m currently breastfeeding, and choline is a necessary nutrient during this time. That drove my decision to make a frittata. Whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this recipe is high in protein and flavor! I’ve also turned this recipe into individual egg muffin cups for more of a single serving grab-and-go snack.

Chorizo & Kale Frittata

This flavorful dish is high in protein and great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With only 3 ingredients, it comes together quickly, and requires minimal preparation! This recipe can also be made into individual egg muffin cups for a grab-and-go snack or side. Freezes well too.
