Chorizo con Huevos

I adore Spanish food. I never attempted to make this before, but I had plenty of chorizo left in the freezer. We decided to make breakfast out of it. Just so you know, the picture will look extremely meaty because we only had five eggs. I modified the recipe to include a lot more eggs, so the meal won't be so meaty. Feel free to modify the amount of meat or eggs! Oh and if you haven't guessed by now, chorizo con huevos translates to chorizo (a Spanish sausage) with eggs. This recipe is extremely simple and delicious. We actually attempted to make Spanish rice with this meal, but it turned out horribly because my friend did not follow directions :).




Chorizo con Huevos
 4-5 servings.

Ingredients

- 10 eggs (the idea is 2 eggs per person, which we couldn't do)
- 3 chorizo sausages (we used a store bought type)
- 1/2 cup of salsa (make your own or use a store bought jar)
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small diced onion, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 cup of grated cheese (we used cheddar and mozzarella)

Directions

1. Cook the sausage in oil (any kind you desire). Break up the sausage into pieces while you're cooking.
2. While the sausage is cooking, crack the 10 eggs into a bowl and whisk.
3. When the sausage is cooked, pour the egg mixture over the sausage.
4. Add the 1/2 cup of salsa and mix.
5. Add the bell peppers, onions, and garlic. Mix and scramble into your liking. Add the cheese
6. When egg is finished cooking and cheese has melted, serve!

Tortillas go great with this dish, especially if your dish turns out as meaty as ours :p. You can also serve it with rice as well.

Egg in Hole

This recipe isn't mine. It goes by many names, but I'm going to call it "egg in hole" because I like that name best. I was hungry and wanted something that was quick and easy. I made this for dinner because I wanted to =D. This is my version of the tasty recipe...



Egg in Hole
One serving.

Ingredients

- 1 egg
- 1 slice of bread (I cut a slice from a cheesy loaf of bread. It gave it an extra delicious kick.)
- 1 slice of American cheese
- Salt
- Pepper
- Butter

Directions

1. Butter both sides of your bread. Cut out a hole in the middle of the bread (use a cookie cutter if you wish).
2. Place your bread on a frying pan on low heat. Crack an egg into the hole. Hence the name!
3. Let the egg cook. Then flip over the bread to let the other side cook. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Flip the bread over again and tear the slice of cheese into smaller pieces. Place the cheese on top of the bread.
5. Let the cheese melt and sprinkle pepper on top.

Enjoy! Very simple and very delicious. You can even sprinkle bacon bits on top... something I want to try next time.
