I think frittatas are wicked because they are so quick and simple to make and you can literally throw anything you like in them. They also keep really well in the fridge for the next day, so they are great to batch cook. This one gets a kick of flavour from the chorizo, but if you want to keep it veggie you can just leave the chorizo out.

Instructions

Step 1

Place a large, non-stick oven-safe frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the chorizo chunks. Cook until the fat has rendered from the chorizo and it's crispy. Remove the chorizo from the pan to a plate, leaving as much fat as possible in the pan.

Step 2

Add the onion to the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low and sauté until softened, around 5 minutes. Next, add the cauliflower florets and sauté for another 5 minutes until browned. Stir in the frozen corn until it defrosts, then mix the chorizo back in.

Step 3

Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high.

Step 4

Whisk the eggs with the salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour the egg over the contents of the pan and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Cook until golden underneath, then pop under the grill (with the pan handle sticking out) until the cheese is melted and the egg is set.

Step 5

Loosen the frittata from the pan with a spatula, then slide it out onto a serving platter and garnish with the rocket.
