Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Step 6: Let rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley before serving.
