Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 9 oz Spanish chorizo sliced into smaller pieces
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 6 eggs lightly whisked

Instructions

  • Cook onion and chorizo. Add oil and onion to a medium sized skillet on low-moderate heat. Next, add the chorizo and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the chorizo has browned. Drain any excess fat that is released from cooking the chorizo.
  • Add spinach and eggs. Then add the spinach and stir through until wilted. Next, add the eggs and a pinch of salt to the pan.
  • Finish cooking. 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. It should only take 2-3 minutes for them to cook to a beautiful soft consistency. Remove from the heat and serve.

Notes

If you are following a keto lifestyle then simply omit the red onion.
If you use Mexican chorizo, 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.
