SPANISH-STYLE SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CHORIZO AND MANCHEGO FRICOS



Spanish-Style Scrambled Eggs with Chorizo and Manchego Fricos image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 oz. manchego cheese, shredded
3 oz. Spanish-style chorizo
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
6 large eggs
1/4-cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
freshly ground black pepper and sea salt

Steps:

  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. When it is hot, sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Cook, shaking pan occasionally to assure an even distribution of cheese over the pan bottom, until the edges are lacy and toasted, about four minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat and allow cheese to set for about 30 seconds. Use a large heatproof spatula and tongs to carefully flip frico over and cook until the other side is golden, another two minutes. Slide frico out of the pan and onto a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining cheese and let stand while you prepare the eggs.
  • Cut chorizo into half-inch dice. Heat a nonstick skillet to medium-high heat and add chorizo. Once the fat from the chorizo has started to render, after about a minute, add onion and stir. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until onion is soft and onion and chorizo have browned slightly. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.
  • Whisk eggs to break up yolks and add to skillet. Add parsley to taste. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom often (this yields a soft, fluffy texture). Spoon scrambled onto plates and season to taste with pepper and salt (keep in mind that fricos are salty and chorizo is peppery). Break fricos into approximately 3-inch pieces and serve with eggs.

SCRAMBLED EGGS AND CHORIZO



Scrambled Eggs and Chorizo image

My husband and I love to make these and eat in a Gorditas Tortilla for breakfast...or without a Tortilla....They are great when we go camping or just at home for a quick breakfast or even dinner.....You can add some hashbrowns on the side.....

Provided by JoSele Swopes

Categories     Meat Breakfast

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 oz mexican chorizo or spanish chorizo(sausage)
2 Tbsp vegetable oil if using spanish chorizo
10 large eggs
5 tortillas, flour (gorditas or regular) opt
cilantro, fresh (chopped) garnish opt

Steps:

  • 1. 1. If using Spanish chorizo, remove from casings brown in oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, using a fork working it constantly, and breaking up meat, 4 to 5 minutes. If using Mexican chorizo, remove from casings and cook (without oil) in skillet, working constantly with fork breaking up meat, until bubbling and completely separated, 4 to 5 minutes. 2. Whisk eggs together in a bowl and stir into chorizo. Cook, stirring, until eggs are scrambled and just set, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately, with or without Gorditas or Tortilla...

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Start with fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Opt for organic or free-range eggs and spicy, flavorful chorizo.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the eggs, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
  • Cook the eggs over medium heat: Cook the eggs over medium heat to prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry. Stir them gently and frequently to ensure even cooking.
  • Add the chorizo at the end: Add the chorizo towards the end of the cooking process to prevent it from becoming overcooked and tough.
  • Season to taste: Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, for extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Chorizo scrambled eggs are best served immediately, while they are still hot and fluffy. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, for a pop of color and flavor.
