Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces Mexican style pork chorizo
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 5 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • cups shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1 medium avocado
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro optional garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Place a pan over medium heat then remove the casing from the chorizo. Add the chorizo to an oven-safe skillet and fry for 7-10 minutes or until fully cooked. Drain well, set aside.
  • Place a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt then remove the pan from the heat, and place on top of a towel or oven mitt. Alternatively, melt butter in a microwave and pour into the skillet. Make sure the inside of the pan is evenly coated with butter.
  • Crack eggs open directly into the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place several dollops of chorizo on top of the eggs.
  • Sprinkle cheese evenly on top of the dish then bake.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling. If you like runnier yolks in your eggs, bake them for less time.
  • Serve warm with the avocado, sour cream, and garnished with cilantro if desired.
