Chorizo And Eggs

You can serve Chorizo and eggs for breakfast as they go well with a nice cup of coffee. Chorizo, which is a Mexican sausage that is slightly spicy, is the main meat used in this dish. The seasonings used in Chorizo include hot peppers, oregano, onions, and garlic. In this dish, you pair eggs with Chorizo sausages. You can cook the eggs in any style, but you typically eat them scrambled.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Red Onion. Red onions are delicious and bring color to this dish. Although this is the case you can always swap out red onions for yellow onions.
  • 2 jalapeños. Jalapenos are a personal favorite as they cook really well with eggs but you can always use sweet peppers if you prefer limited spice.
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 Cup of Whole Milk. Whole milk is a great addition to this egg recipe as it smoothens your eggs while whisking. If you are lactose intolerant you can always substitute whole milk for plant-based milk.
  • 2 tbsp. of Butter
  • 1 Chorizo Link
Optional Ingredients
  • Shredded Mexican Cheese
  • Crema Cheese
  • Green Onions
  • Bacon
  • Sour Cream

Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • Whisk
  • Bowls
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. During the first step, heat your stovetop to medium heat and add your butter to the pan on the heat.
  2. Gather all the vegetables in the ingredients list and dice them into small cubes. Add the cubes of vegetables to your pan with butter and let it simmer for a minimum of four minutes. With the spatula, move the vegetables around.
  3. Before chopping up the meat, clean your board by cleaning it with water and soap to prevent contamination. Cut your Chorizo sausage into small sections and place them into your pan. Let the combination simmer together for five more minutes in your pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, crack the eggs into the bowl. Add the milk and combine the salt and pepper in the bowl. Whisk the mixture until it is frothy and it is entirely smooth.
  5. In the final step, add the egg mixture to your warm pan. Once you add the egg mixture, lower the stovetop temperature under your pan to medium-low. Let it cook for 1 minute or until the edges are golden brown. After this occurs, take the spatula and break apart the egg mixture to make a scrambled egg.

Notes

Just like eating scrambled eggs, you can add toppings and extra ingredients to your dish. All these ingredients are changeable and not necessary. However, I do love using shredded Mexican cheese as it brings an extra savory flavor to the dish.
