Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chorizo sausage, casings removed
  • 2 cups diced potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned, breaking it up into smaller pieces. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add a bit of oil if necessary, then sauté the diced potatoes, chopped onion, and bell pepper until the potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Add the cooked chorizo and sautéed vegetables to the egg mixture, stirring to combine.
  6. Gently fold in the shredded cheese, reserving some for topping if desired.
  7. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  8. Pour the chorizo potato egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  9. Sprinkle any reserved cheese on top of the casserole.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
  11. Let the Chorizo Potato Egg Casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
