Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 100 grams chorizo sausage
- 1 medium jalapeño
- 0.5 red bell pepper
- 50 grams cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Begin by finely dicing the jalapeño and red bell pepper. Grate the cheddar cheese and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chorizo and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through.
Step 4
Add the diced jalapeño and red bell pepper to the skillet with the chorizo, sautéing for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula, slowly pulling the cooked edges toward the center.
Step 6
Continue cooking the eggs, stirring gently until softly scrambled and set to your desired consistency, about 4 minutes.
Step 7
Just before the eggs are fully cooked, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the top and fold it in until melted.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the scrambled eggs with freshly chopped cilantro.
Step 9
Serve immediately, enjoying your flavorful Keto Ovos Mexidos with your favorite keto-friendly toppings or sides.
