Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 200 grams chorizo sausage
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Start by preparing the ingredients: finely chop the small onion and roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
Slice the chorizo sausage into small pieces.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the chorizo pieces to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is browned and cooked through.
Once the chorizo is cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the beaten eggs into the skillet.
Allow the eggs to set for a few moments, then gently stir with a spatula, bringing the cooked edges towards the center. Continue cooking, stirring gently, until the eggs are just cooked through but still soft. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
Serve the scrambled eggs with chorizo hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
