Breakfast Egg Casserole

Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 250 g Mexican chorizo (Removed from the casing; may be substituted with bacon or sausage.)
• 500 g potatoes (Peeled and cut into small cubes.)
• 1 white onion (Chopped.)
• 3 tomatoes (Chopped.)
• 1 jalapeño chile (Seeded and chopped; optional if you prefer less heat.)
• 2 dientes garlic (Finely chopped.)
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil (For cooking.)
• 150 g Chihuahua or Manchego cheese (Grated.)
• salt (To taste.)
• black pepper (To taste.)
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (Chopped, for finishing.)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Have a casserole dish or cast-iron skillet ready that can be transferred from the stovetop to the oven.

2. 2

   Heat the oil in the casserole dish over medium heat. Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until they begin to brown and are almost tender.

3. 3

   Add the crumbled chorizo. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully cooked and its fat has rendered.

4. 4

   Add the onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, and garlic. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent, the tomatoes have softened, and the mixture is fragrant.

5. 5

   Taste the mixture and adjust the salt and pepper. Spread it into a relatively even layer in the casserole dish.

6. 6

   Make eight wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each one. Avoid breaking the yolks if you want them to remain visible when serving.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the grated cheese over the mixture and around the eggs, taking care not to completely cover the yolks.

8. 8

   Transfer the casserole dish to the oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until the whites are set and the cheese has melted. For firm yolks, bake for a few additional minutes.

9. 9

   Carefully remove the casserole dish, let it rest for 2 minutes, and finish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with corn tortillas or bread.
