Ingredients
Pork and beef chorizo
4 oz or 113g
Cheddar cheese
2 oz or 57g
Directions
- 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.
- Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat, then remove from heat, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
- Crack the eggs directly into the skillet and season with salt and pepper.
- Add dollops of chorizo on top of the eggs.
- Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the dish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbling. For runnier yolks, bake for less time.
- Serve warm with avocado, sour cream, and garnish with cilantro if desired.
