Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 200 grams chorizo sausage
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the ingredients: finely chop the small onion and roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
Step 2
Slice the chorizo sausage into small pieces.
Step 3
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Step 6
Add the chorizo pieces to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is browned and cooked through.
Step 7
Once the chorizo is cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the beaten eggs into the skillet.
Step 8
Allow the eggs to set for a few moments, then gently stir with a spatula, bringing the cooked edges towards the center. Continue cooking, stirring gently, until the eggs are just cooked through but still soft. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
Step 10
Serve the scrambled eggs with chorizo hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
