    Chorizo and eggs scramble on a plate, ready to eat.

    Eggs have long been one of my healthy breakfast recipe staples and I have shared many seriously tasty egg recipes. When I saw these chorizo scrambled eggs on Epicurious, I knew I had to give them a try.

    I loved this meal so much, I decided to make another variation of my popular scrambled eggs.

    WHAT IS CHORIZO

    Chorizo is made from coarsely chopped pork and pork fat with spices added to it. There are a few different variations of chorizo and they differ in how they are made as well as what spices are used. There are European, American and Asian varieties. European chorizo is typically fermented, cured, and smoked and you can get Spanish and Portuguese varieties. The Portugese varieties are often spicier than the Spanish chorizo. The American versions can have other meats added as well as vegan varieties. The Asian varieties are similar to the Portuguese varieties. For this recipe, I have used Spanish chorizo, which is seasoned with garlic, smoked paprika (called pimentón) and salt.

    RECIPE INGREDIENTS

    There are only five ingredients needed to make this scramble recipe:

    • Olive oil
    • Red onion
    • Spanish chorizo
    • Baby spinach
    • Eggs

    HOW TO MAKE

    This is a really easy recipe to make!

    First heat a medium sized skillet on low-moderate heat. First add some oil and onion, followed by the chorizo and cook for 5-6 minutes until the chorizo has browned. Drain any excess fat that is released from cooking the chorizo.

    Once browned, you stir the spinach through until wilted. Then add the eggs with a pinch of salt. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, move the mixture to the center of the pan. Keep doing that every 30 seconds or so until the eggs are cooked. Then remove from the heat and serve.

    TIPS & FAQS

    I am following a keto lifestyle, what do I need to omit from the recipe?

    This breakfast is perfect for low carb or paleo lifestyles. However, if you are following a keto lifestyle then simply omit the red onion.

    Can I use a different type of chorizo?

    Absolutely!
    This recipe will also work really well with Mexican chorizo. However, you don't need to pre-slice it. You will need to remove it from the casing and add to the skillet. Then you will need to crumble the chorizo with a wooden spoon as you are browning it.

    Can I save the leftovers?

    Yes, this scramble will last 2-3 days in your refrigerator. To re-heat, add 1 tablespoon of water to the mixture and add to your skillet on low-medium heat and cook for approximately 5 minutes until warmed through.
