Mexican Breakfast Egg and Chorizo Casserole

[heart_this] · Jan 17, 2019 · 5 Comments

Mexican Breakfast Egg and Chorizo Casserole

A tasty Mexican style egg breakfast casserole with spicy chorizo, cheddar and jalapenos! Easy, tasty and satisfying!

In general I prefer savoury breakfasts to sweet breakfasts and this Mexican style breakfast egg and chorizo casserole is the perfect example of a savoury breakfast! Breakfast egg casseroles are so easy to make and this one is no exception. They start out with a lot of eggs, 12 for a 9×13 inch baking pan, along with a dairy, such as cottage cheese, and then whatever other filler and flavour ingredients that you desire! This casserole starts out with tasty Mexican style fresh pork chorizo sausage that is cooked along with onions and garlic. The sausage is added to the eggs along with cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapenos, green onions and cilantro before being poured into a pan and baked until set. This is one of the tastiest breakfast casseroles around and I like to eat it both when its still warm from the oven or straight from the fridge as leftovers, which can also be warmed up. I like to serve topped with salsa, avocado and our cream!

      I usually get mine at a butcher shop but some brands have them in the fresh sausage section at regular grocery stores. You can also make your own with ground pork: https://www.closetcooking.com/mexican-chorizo/

    Can this be made / mixed a few days ahead of time so that when guests are in town it just has to be put in the oven?
