HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chorizo and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and has rendered some of its fat. Remove the chorizo with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

02

Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, until the vegetables are softened but still have a slight crispness.

03

While the vegetables cook, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper together in a medium bowl until well combined and slightly frothy.

04

Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet with the softened vegetables. Stir to combine.

05

Pour the egg mixture over the chorizo and vegetables in the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges begin to set.

06

Gently push the cooked portions of the eggs from the edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue cooking and gently folding for 2-4 minutes, until the eggs are set but still moist.

07

Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of crusty bread.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika along with the bell peppers. Ensure your skillet is truly non-stick for the best scrambling results. Do not overcook the eggs; they should be soft and creamy.

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute turkey chorizo for a leaner option. Any color of bell pepper will work, or you can add other quick-cooking vegetables like spinach or mushrooms. For a dairy-free version, omit the milk or use a plant-based alternative.
