Scrambled Eggs with Chorizo & Avocado

Scrambled Eggs with Chorizo & Avocado

This morning’s breakfast came about because I wanted to use a piece of my Grain Free Bread!  I looked through the fridge and decided to make a chorizo scramble to top the bread with.  A bit more exciting and tasty than traditional scrambled eggs, but just as easy to make.

I then dry fried the chorizo pieces in a pan for about 3-4mins – they release so much oil anyway that you don’t need to add any extra.  When they were cooked through and slightly browned, I fished the chorizo out, leaving the gorgeous oil behind in the pan.  Smoky and spicy, this is what I would be cooking my eggs in to give them extra flavour.

I put a piece of my Grain Free Bread into the toaster, cracked the eggs into a bowl and whisked them up with some salt and pepper.  Then, I emptied them into the hot chorizo oil and stirred everything until they were cooked through (about 2-3 mins but I like mine pretty runny).  I threw the chorizo back into the pan and stirred everything together.  These 6 eggs made enough scrambled egg to top my piece of toast and Dan’s 4 bagel halves! 2 eggs per person is probably enough (unless you have a very hungry boyfriend)!

Topping the toast with the Scrambled Egg and Chorizo mix, I decided that I wanted something more.  I had an avocado that was just ripe so I sliced that up and topped the toast with it.  A generous sprinkling of black pepper and it was finished!
