Cheesy Chorizo Omelet
Is cooking breakfast a struggle? This Cheesy Chorizo Omelet is quick and satisfying thanks to one of my essential 4 tools that make morning meals easy.
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk or water
- ¼ cup diced onion
- About 2 oz. ground chorizo sausage {I use ground vegan sausage links}
- 2 tablespoons {or more} shredded cheese such as Mexican cheese blend
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion to skillet and saute for about 2-3 minutes or until it begins to soften.
- Add ground chorizo and cook until no longer raw*, then carefully drain any fat and set aside.
- Meanwhile, crack eggs directly into the OXO Microwave Omelet Maker. Add milk or water and lightly beat eggs with a fork.
- Microwave for 2 to 2 ½ minutes until egg is fluffy and cooked through.
- Remove from microwave and top with cheese and chorizo filling.
- Fold omelet maker over and gently slide omelet out onto plate.
- Top with a drizzle of yogurt or sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro if desired.
Notes
The vegan sausage I use comes in links. I grind the links in the food processor and then cook until slightly browned and heated through.
