Chorizo, Potato & Cheese Omelette Recipe - Authentic Spanish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup chorizo, diced
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Potatoes

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook until golden brown and tender, about 10-15 minutes.

    Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  2. Cook the Chorizo

    Add the diced chorizo to the skillet with the potatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the chorizo is browned.

    Make sure to stir well to mix the flavors.
  3. Whisk the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.

    Whisking well ensures a fluffy omelette.
  4. Combine Ingredients

    Pour the egg mixture over the chorizo and potatoes in the skillet. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.

    Make sure the mixture is evenly distributed.
  5. Cook the Omelette

    Cook on low heat until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted, about 8-10 minutes. You can cover the skillet to help the eggs cook through.

    Keep an eye on the heat to avoid burning.
  6. Serve

    Gently slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.

    Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
