Chorizo Breakfast Casserole

March 25th, 2014 No comments

  • Ingredients:
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 large zucchini
  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms (optional
  • 2 links chorizo, casings removed
  • Freshly ground  sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cook the chorizo in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat ( I use a cast iron skillet.) Set aside.
  2. Grate all of the zucchini and put into a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and allow to sit out for at least 5 min.  to “sweat” out some of the moisture before cooking. Using a paper towel, pat  the moisture out of the zucchini. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper or seasonings of your choice.
  3. Combine all of the ingredients, including cooked chorizo, in the large bowl and mix together. You want to have enough eggs to coat the whole mixture. Warm about a 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil  in the skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini mixture into the pan. Cover and cook about 5 minutes until the eggs start to set on the bottom. Transfer to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the eggs are firm. Remove and let rest for 5-10 minutes, then serve.

    2 small zucchini

    handful of mushrooms

    3 big handfuls of spinach

    sea salt and black pepper to taste

    Preheat oven to 350 and grease two muffin pans with  of coconut oil, butter, or ghee. Whisk all your eggs in a big bowl. Dice and chop all your veggies.    Mix the egg mixture with veggies well and using a 1/4 measuring cup, fill the muffin pans (you’ll be able to make 18-20 cupcakes).  Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are set in the middle.  These are great to take on the go. I like mine with some sliced avocado and Stellar Gourmet Calaverde green salsa.

    BTW- You don’t have to use the veggies that I chose, experiment with your favs!
