Instructions

Instructions are for 1 serving. Please modify as needed.

  1. Grease a large mug with butter. Add eggs, cream, cheese and spices, and whisk together until combined well. The egg mixture will double its size during cooking, so make sure there is enough space left in the mug.
  2. Add broccoli and chorizo. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. If it's not set in the middle, microwave for another 30 seconds.
  3. Let cool for a minute.

Tips

You can serve the frittata with rocket (arugula) or baby spinach and some olive oil.

This is a one-portion dish, but feel free to make several portions at once and save them for the next day. Perfect for picnic and excursions.

Note

This recipe is tailored for microwave preparation. If you want to use your oven or the stovetop, feel free to refer to one of our other recipes:

    Had this last night for an easy dinner. It was delicious and satisfying! Didn't have broccoli so I substituted bell pepper (I measured the carbs.) This will be my new go-to recipe for when I'm in a hurry or don't know what to eat. You can also change up the seasonings and cheeses for variety. I topped it with a dollop of sour cream. So simple and tasty!
