Ingredients
- 12 oz, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds chorizo sausage
- 2 medium, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes carrots
- 2 medium, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes parsnips
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 cup dry white wine

- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat; add 12 oz sliced chorizo and cook for 3 minutes until slightly browned, then remove and set aside.
- Step 2: In the same skillet, add 2 diced carrots, 2 diced parsnips, and 1 diced onion; cook for 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften, then add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Step 3: Pour in 1/4 cup dry white wine and simmer for 2 minutes to reduce, then stir in the reserved 12 oz chorizo slices.
- Step 4: Whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth; pour this mixture over the vegetable and chorizo mixture in the skillet.
- Step 5: Sprinkle 1/2 cup grated Manchego cheese evenly over the top, then bake for 25-30 minutes until the center is set and the top is golden brown, about 10 minutes after the edges pull away from the skillet.
- Step 6: Let rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley before serving.
