Ingredients
- 10 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk, half-and-half, or heavy cream
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium-sized cooked chorizo sausages, skin removed and cut into a 1/4-inch dice
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, until just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Scoop the chorizo out of the skillet with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate. Wipe the skillet out with a paper towel.
- Return the skillet to medium to medium-low heat and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring, about 3 minutes. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, about 2 to 4 minutes more depending on the desired firmness of the eggs. Serve immediately.
Reviews
Add cheddar cheese to the recipe and serve with sour cream and salsa. Rap in a warm tortilla..
Does not need the salt. The pork is already salty. I put black pepper, Italian seasoning and a little 1/2 and 1/2.
How many ounces are 2 medium-sized cooked chorizo or if using uncooked for this recipe?
I decided to try this out and it worked great. I added in a bit of green bell peppers and green onions to the eggs as they were cooking. Great recipe.
This is exactly how my family has been making chorizo con huevos for yeeeears. The only thing I see wrong with this recipe is the whole “slicing” part – chorizo is a very soft sausage, and doesn’t exactly slice well. It’s also a very greasy sausage, so taking it out of the pan with a slotted spoon & wiping it out before cooking the eggs are great tips.
This is what I always order when dining at Mexican restaurants and this recipe is a good version. I like the approach of cooking the sausage partially and then adding it later to the eggs while cooking. I drained the chorizo on papertowels while cooking the eggs to remove some fat.
