Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 6 ounces Spanish chorizo (casing removed and crumbled)
  • 1 small onion (finely diced)
  • 1 small red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 4 large eggs
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 1-2 teaspoons milk (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, or cilantro)

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Spatula
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by finely dicing the small onion and red bell pepper. Mince the clove of garlic. Set these aside in separate bowls to make the cooking process smoother.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add the crumbled Spanish chorizo. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chorizo is browned and cooked through.
  3. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the chorizo. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. In a mixing bowl, crack the four large eggs. If you prefer creamier eggs, add 1-2 teaspoons of milk. Whisk the eggs until well combined, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the chorizo and vegetables. Let it sit for a few seconds before gently stirring with a spatula. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until the eggs are just set but still creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • For extra spice, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
  • Make sure not to overcook the eggs; they should be soft and creamy.
  • This dish can be easily doubled for larger gatherings or meal prep.
