Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Remove the casing from the chorizo and cook it in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat for 7-10 minutes until fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat, then remove from heat, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
  3. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add dollops of chorizo on top of the eggs.
  5. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the dish.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbling. For runnier yolks, bake for less time.
  7. Serve warm with avocado, sour cream, and garnish with cilantro if desired.
