    Eggs with Chorizo and Potatoes

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Until a few weeks ago I had never cooked chorizo, but my regular grocery store started carrying it recently, and every week since I would go by it in the meat section and think about trying it. These Baked Eggs with Chorzio and Potatoes are made with Mexican chorzio, which is ground and in a casing like sausage or in bulk, which is what I used here.  This recipe is inspired by Food and Wine Baked Eggs with Chorizo and Potatoes.

    Eggs with Chorzio and Potatoes

     

    Mexican chorizo is spicy, like taco meat, and is prepared the same way as ground beef. Paired with simple sunny-side up eggs and finely diced potatoes, this makes a great weekend breakfast! Serve with toast or bagels with juice and coffee for a complete meal.

    This recipe has only 4 ingredients, and is fairly simple to make. I chose to make it completely on the stove and cut the potatoes into small pieces to save time. These days I love nothing more than saving time!

    I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did!
