Chorizo Scrambled Eggs
Because why just have regular scrambled eggs?! I mean, probably quite a few reasons. But, I’m here today to pitch to you why with just a few extra tweaks, these scrambled eggs will be the best you’ve ever had. Promise. First things first let’s see what you’ll need:
Eggs – Large and as fresh as possible. Chorizo – Regular Spanish chorizo works great here. Diced into small quarters. Onion – White or red, finely diced. Chilli – Make sure it’s a mild chilli and make sure you deseed it. This will offer a very gentle background kick of spice. Butter – Helps create the rich flavour of these scrambled eggs. Smoked Paprika – Just a few pinches to finish, this will bring out the gorgeous smoky tones of the chorizo.
Soft and Creamy Scrambled Eggs
By cooking the eggs slowly over a low heat you help create a gorgeously creamy texture. By cooking low and slow you also completely change the flavour, they come out far richer and creamier. Hence why there’s no cream in sight in this recipe. Once you cook scrambled eggs this way I promise you’ll never rush them again. Process Shots: add butter to pan (photo 1), melt (photo 2), add onion and chilli (photo 3), fry then add chorizo (photo 4), pour in eggs (photo 5), cook over very low heat until a custardy texture with curds forms (photo 6).
How to serve Chorizo Scrambled Eggs
Once you’ve cooked the eggs, add a few pinches of smoked paprika. From there, there’s 2 main ways I usually serve these eggs:
1. Chorizo Eggs on Toast
Nice large buttery slice of toast does the job here. If I’ve got any fresh parsley or chives on hand I also add a very tiny pinch of either of those too. Certainly not a deal breaker though.
2. Chorizo Egg Breakfast Quesadillas
These eggs work perfectly in a quesadilla too. At it’s most basic all you’ll need for a breakfast quesadilla is the eggs, tortilla wraps and cheese (Monterey Jack works great). You could also bulk them out with black beans, avocado etc. Process Shots: add eggs to half a tortilla wrap (photo 1), top with cheese (photo 2), lightly oil and add to pan (photo 3), flip and fry until cheese goes gooey (photo 4).
