Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small, diced onion
- 1 small, diced bell pepper
- 1 cup vegetarian soy chorizo
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Whisk together until well combined, then season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent and the bell pepper is tender.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the other side.
Add the soy chorizo to the oiled side of the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until the chorizo is thoroughly heated and slightly browned.
Mix the vegetables and soy chorizo together in the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the vegetable-soy chorizo mix. Allow the eggs to set slightly, then gently stir with a spatula, pulling the eggs across the pan to form large soft curds.
Continue cooking until the eggs are cooked through but still creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped parsley over the scrambled eggs mixture.
Gently fold the cheese and parsley into the eggs until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
